Using different optical, optomechanical, polarization, fiber and laser components, assembled and upgraded various optical set-ups necessary for photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and reflectance contrast (RC) measurements. Collected spectral data with a 0.5 m optical spectrometer (Princeton Instruments SP-2-500i). Conducted low-temperature experiments (down to ~5 K) during which sample cooling down were realized by means of circulation of liquid helium across a cryostat (Janis ST-500, Oxford Instruments Microstat HiRes2) containing the measured sample. Also investigated PL signal of the samples by applying external electric field and gate voltage. Was actively involved in research projects of my supervisor, analysed experimental data, calculated theoretical parameters. The obtained results were published in famous scientific journals (Physical Review B, Nano Letters). Presented posters and talks in national and international conferences including Graphene Week 2016.

06.2013 − 07.2013
Went as a business trip (7 days) to Lytkarino Optical Glass Factory (LZOS, Lytkarino, Moscow Region, Russian Federation). During this trip, drafted the mechanical details of medical digital thermostatic shaker, which was supposed to be a Russian model of the PST plate shaker-thermostat from Latvian-English company Biosan. Then in Kyiv, helped designers to model those details and made the design engineering documentation.

Личные качества, хобби, увлечения, навыки: PhD
Project title: "Optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers, heterostructures and alloys". Supervisor: Prof A. I. Tartakovskii.
Studied optical and optoelectronic properties of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers, its alloys and van der Waals heterostructures by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and optical reflectance contrast measurements at room and low temperatures (~ 5-6 K) using liquid helium continuous flow cryostat systems (Janis ST-500, Oxford Instruments Microstat HiRes2). In particular, investigated exciton-electron and exciton-trion interactions in single-layer TMDCs, optoelectronic properties of spatially indirect (interlayer) excitons in TMDC-based heterostructures, as well as band structure modification of MoxW1-xS2 due to alloying. Had clean-room training in sample fabrication processes (micromechanical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth).

Studied the surface of ferromagnetic amorphous alloy Fe73.6Cu1Nb2.4Si15.8B7, especially elementary excitations in the spectra of low-energy secondary-electron emission from the surface of the alloy using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and established that ultrasonic percussion treatment of the alloy surface reduces the energy of bulk plasmons.

Project title: "Atomic design and surface properties of InSe single crystals". Supervisor: Prof V. L. Karbivsky.
