Education:

  • M.Eng., (1997), Zaporozhye State Technical University, Ukraine
  • Ph.D. in Material Science, (2001), Zaporozhye State Technical University, Ukraine

 

Appointments and Affiliations:

  • Adjunct Professor, Department of Physics, Lakehead University; 2008-Present
  • Central Technology Laboratory, Material Science Centre and Department of Physics, Philipps-University Marburg, Germany; 2003-2008

Research Areas of Focus

Microscopic modelling of transport, optical, electronic, and structural properties of disordered semiconductors for medical imaging detectors. Particular topics include:

  • atomic structure of compound and amorphous semiconductors

  • defects and impurities in crystals and interaction between them

  • electronic and vibrational states in disordered solids

  • density functional theory and empirical force-field potentials

  • semiconductor surfaces: structure and energetics

  • electronic transport in disordered low-mobility semiconductors: hopping, multiple trapping, diffusion, incl. high-field effects, such as impact ionization

  • charge carriers: generation, recombination, lifetime, and trapping

  • optical properties of low-dimensional nanostructures: quantum wells and quantum dots
