- Sheila Puffer- Professor Puffer has research and teaching interests in international business and management and entrepreneurship, with emphasis on Russia.
- Harlow Robinson- Matthews Distinguished University Professor Dr. Harlow Robinson is a specialist in Soviet and Russian cultural history, and has written widely on Soviet film and the performing arts.
- Katya Burvikova- Ekaterina has worked as a Russian Instructor and examiner at the State Pushkin Institute of Russian Language, Russia. Ekaterina has authored several articles on the Russian Silver Age poetry, methodology of language teaching as well as gender-based language differences in Russian.
- Jeffrey Burds- Jeffrey Burds does research in the international history of modern Russia, Ukraine, and the Soviet Union. His current work is devoted to studies of collaboration in the German-occupied Soviet zones during World War II, and the postwar Soviet counterinsurgency in western Ukraine.
- Oleg Batishchev- Prof. Batishchev’s main research areas are Plasma Physics applications in fusion energy, laser-matter interaction, space, electric propulsion, and industry, and Computational Physics with focus on high-performance computing.
- Nicholas Daniloff- A 30-year veteran in national media, Professor Daniloff joined Northeastern University in 1989. He has written several books: The Kremlin and the Cosmos (1972), and Two Lives One Russia (1988), and the recent Of Spies and Spokesmen: My Life as a Cold War Correspondent (University of Missouri Press, 2008).
- Kostia Bergman- Kostia studies the sensory physiology of microorganisms—how bacteria and fungi respond to various chemical and physical signals in their environment.
- Slava Epstein- The overarching theme of Slava's laboratory is microbial discovery in the environment and human microbiome. We uncover novel microbial life forms by inventing novel cultivation strategies that depart from conventional wisdom and provide access to the greatest part of microbial diversity: unexplored species missed in the past.
- Kim Lewis- The focus of Kim's research is on antimicrobial drug tolerance and drug discovery.
- Michail Sitkovsky- Michail aim is to eliminate the powerful hypoxia-adenosinergic mechanism that protects tumors by inhibiting incoming anti-tumor T killer cells near or within tumors within the cancer research field.

- Sergey Kravchenko- Professor Kravchenko is studying the low temperature (millikelvin) properties of low-dimensional disordered systems by means of transport, capacitance, and magnetization measurements. His primary interest is to understand the nature of the anomalous metal-insulator transition in strongly interacting two-dimensional electron systems, discovered by him and his collaborators, and to determine its phase diagram.
- Dennis Cokely- Professor and Chair of Language department at Northeastern University, as well as advisor for the Russian-Speaking Club.
