Fields of interest and research experience:

  • Study of structure of biomolecules, macromolecules (nucleic acids, proteins and porphyrins) and their complexes by methods of optical spectroscopy.
  • Knowledge of optical spectroscopy methods [electron and vibrational (IR and Raman), special techniques in Raman spectroscopy – resonance Raman spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)].
  • Experience with building of optical and spectroscopic experiments for research and applied applications.
  • Optical pyrometry.
