Employment and experience
2007 February – now, Sincrotrone Trieste - Elettra, Italy, research scientist at the Spectromicroscopy beamline:
- upgrade of the scanning phototemission microscope in the valence band energy region. After comissioning Spectromicroscopy beamline will deliver to users the unique ability to make ARPES (Angular-Resolved PhotoEmission Spectroscopy) with spatial resolution of 100 nm,
- beamline research and user support activities
- research induced by Nano2 project and devoted to the investigation of the oxidation Rh, Ru and other catalytically active materials
2004 May – 2006 December, Sincrotrone Trieste - Elettra, Italy, postdoctoral fellow in the NanO2 project of the European Community
- Investigation of oxidation of catalytically active metals like (Rh, Ru, etc.) in various forms (single crystals, monolayer thin films, nano and microparticles on oxide substrates) at sub-micron level using ESCA photoelectron spectromicroscopy, high-pressure photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution electron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, and scanning transmission microscopy.
- The use and development of the XPS spectromicroscopy in the investigations of various materials (OLEDs, fuel cells, nanotubes, rare-earth oxides).
- Participation in the user support and beamline development of ESCA Microscopy beamline of Elettra.
2003 September – 2004 May – Canadian Light Source, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada, postdoctoral fellow in the spectromicroscopy beamline group. Participation in the research and beamline development.
- Participation in the commissioning of the spectromicroscopy beamline at CLS. Development of the software for the station, development of the web-site for the beamline, tests of the optical hardware;
- Investigations of the amino acids and simple proteins, liquid crystalline dyes, and other materials using scanning transmission X-ray spectromicroscopy in the CLS and Advanced Light Source (beamline 5.3.2. at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA).
April 1994 - September 2003 – RRC Kurchatov Institute, staff scientist in the Laboratory of the spectroscopy of the condensed state, Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source, Moscow, Russia.
- Experimental investigation of molecular solids (fullerene C60 and derivatives) using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies in the visible-VUV-Soft X-ray range, including fluorescence excited with laser and/or VUV-X-ray synchrotron radiation.
- Construction and commissioning of the VUV monochromator at the VUV beamline of KSRS. The activity included computer modeling of the physical characteristics of the monochromator (SHADOW and XOP program packages).
- Participation to the inter-lab experiments devoted to the investigation of C60 and its fluorinated derivatives – photoelectron spectroscopy, EXAFS, IR and Raman spectroscopy; spectroscopy of the solids in the cryogenic matrices.
