Education and Scientific Degree
Dr. of Science Degree in Physical Chemistry and Physics from the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2012; Ph.D. Degree in Physical Chemistry from A.N. Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 1992; Diploma in Engineering & Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, 1981.
Research Interests
Basic research on electronic and photonic processes in solid state layers of polymer and composite materials: electrical properties of polymer and organic materials, charge carrier transport, polymer composite morphology. In particularly, the electron-hole transport in thin layers of various polymer materials was studied and a mechanism of the transport of charge carriers explaining the increase of mobility in donor-acceptor composites was developed. Along interface of donor and acceptor materials, the mechanism predicts the charge mobility of the order of that in metals.
R&D in organic and hybrid solar cells based on conductive polymer composites.
