Education:

1984 – Chemical Department of Belarusian State University,
1989 – Postgraduate courses at Chemical Department of Belarusian State University.
 
Career:

Since 1989 – in the Research Institute for Physical Chemical Problems of Belarusian State University at the positions from junior researcher up to leading researcher (present position).
 
Current research activity:

Physico-chemistry of nanomaterials (nanocomposites of various composition, sol-gel films and glasses, carbon structures, vitreous chalcogenide semiconductors, etc.), metal and semiconductor clusters, optics of nanostructures, physics and chemistry of surface. Quantum-chemical calculations of inorganic clusters and carbon nanostructures.
 
Main achievements:

  • Original protocol of the sol-gel process to produce film and glassy silica-based materials with nanoparticles of copper and copper compounds for design of non-linear optical elements.
  • Quantum-chemical approaches of ab initio calculations for a series of systems with metal and semiconductor clusters and endohedral fullerenes. The calculation results demonstrate the trends in properties variation of the clusters from molecular forms through bulk solids with increase of atom numbers. The data are in consistence with experimental optical features.

 International scientific projects:

  • International Science Foundation, 1993-1995
  • Volkswagen Foundation, 1997-1999.
  • INTAS-funded projects, 1998-1999, 2004-2006
  • Projects of Belarusian Fundamental Research Foundation with partners of Ukraine and Russia
  • More than 300 works have been published in total. About 150 papers are in reviewed foreign, Russian and Belarusian journals.
