Zhilina developed algorithms and computer programs for solving problems in physics, mechanics and the non-stationary thermal conductivity of complex nuclear weapons. Under her leadership, computer programs were developed to solve problems in the field of optimal trajectories of nuclear weapons, including their ballistics.[2]

She was a laureate of the USSR State Prize (1988), the Medal "For Labour Valour" (1962) and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1975).[1]
