Research supervisor:
Elena Obraztsova
PhD

Supervisor’s research interests:
Our research interests are focused on synthesis, comprehensive optical characterization and new applications of carbon nanostructured materials (single-wall carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon onions, carbon peapods, graphene nanoribbons inside carbon nanotubes and on metallic surfaces. Main applications are: ultrafast beam modulators for solid state lasers and transparent conductive electrodes.

Research highlights:
We are one of the first laboratories in Russia started studies of single-wall carbon nanotubes and graphene. We have a whole line of equipment for studies of carbon nanomaterials from synthesis to applications. We have a close collaboration with laboratories in Finland, France, Spain, Taiwan, Vietnam. 14 PhD theses have been defended under my supervision since 2000.

Supervisor’s specific requirements:
  •  University degree in Physics.
  •  Strong background in condensed matter physics and optics.
  •  Skills in experimental optics and laser physics.
