Olga Dmitrieva completed a Ph.D. in linguistics at Stanford University, an M.A. in Linguistics at the University of Kansas, and a specialist diploma in Philology at Tomsk State University. She teaches both theoretical and experimental linguistics courses, specifically in the areas of phonology and phonetics. 

Dr. Dmitrieva arrived at Purdue as a visiting scholar in 2009 and received her first academic appointment at the university in 2011. She has engaged in research on acoustic phonetics, crosslinguistic speech perception, and laboratory phonology. She is also involved in researching second language acquisition, particularly the interaction between the phonologies of the first and second language in bilingual individuals. Dmitrieva has focused on experimental evidence for the perceptual optimization in phonology and production of voicing in languages such as English, Russian, and Spanish. 

She has authored or co-authored papers in linguistic and phonetic journals such as Language and Speech, Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, Phonetica, and Phonetics and Phonology of Geminate Consonants. She has also participated in multiple invited talks with the Indiana University Linguistics Club Colloquium, the Workshop on Geminate Consonants across the world, and the Stanford Phonetics and Phonology Workshop.
