Professors and employees of the Department of Electronics and Energy Engineering have successfully received international grants for long-term scientific internships and conduct scientific research in the world's leading scientific institutions. For example, Dr. M. Solovan and Dr. T. Kovaliuk atUniversity of Massachusetts Lowell (Lowell, USA); Dr. V.Brus at University of California Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, USA, where 5 Nobel laureates work); Dr. M. Solovan at Politecnico di Torino(Turin, Italy); Dr. A. Mostovyi at Lund University (Lund, Sweden); Dr. V.Brus at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH (Berlin, Germany); Dr. V. Brus, Dr. M. Solovan, Dr. A. Mostovyi and Dr. G. Parkhomenko, Nazarbayev University (Astana, Kazakhstan); Dr. T. Kovaliuk at Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic).
Dr. Viktor Brus, D.Sc. (Habilitation) in Physics of Semiconductors and Dielectrics, winner of the international competition "GreenTalents 2012" (organized by the Ministry of Education and Scientific Research of Germany in 2012), has completed a scientific internship at the University of California, Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, USA, where 5 Nobel laureates work) in 2014 -2015. In November 2014,Dr. V. Brus won a prestigious 2-year postdoc fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to conduct research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH (Berlin, Germany). In 2017, Dr. V. Brus returned to Santa Barbara, after which he moved to Astana (Nazarbayev University), where he still works as an assistant Professor.
Dr. Mykhailo Solovan, D.Sc. (Habilitation) in Physics of Semiconductors and Dielectrics works as an associate professor and senior researcher at our University. As an employee, he completed a two-month internship at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (Lowell, USA) in the year of 2015. In March 2015, Dr. M. Solovan has won a prestigious 6-month postdoc scholarship within the framework of the EUROEAST project under the Erasmus Mundus program to conduct scientific research at the Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy). Moreover, he has completed one year post-doctoral fellowship at Nazarbayev University (Astana, Kazakhstan) in the year of 2022.
Dr. M. Solovan is currently conducting scientific research at the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań (Poland). He won a prestigious scholarship of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchanges "Ulam NAWA Programme" to conduct scientific research for two years (2022-2024) in the field of physics with a research topic entitled "Unraveling Photoelectric Processes in 2D Hybrid Perovskite Optoelectronic Devices".
Dr. Andrii Mostovyi, Ph.D., works as an assistant professor in the Department of Electronics and Energy Engineering. Hehas won a prestigious scholarship to conduct scientific research within the framework of the HUMERIA project under the Erasmus Mundus program at Lund University (Lund, Sweden) from November 2016 to April 2017.
From January 2022, Dr. A. Mostovyi is working at Nazarbayev University (Astana, Kazakhstan) as a Post-doctoral fellow under the mentorship of Prof. V. Brus. He is engaged with the fabrication of new semitransparent organic solar cells and continuing his research into the effect of ionizing radiation on optoelectronic devices based on organic and inorganic semiconductor materials.
Dr. Taras Kovaliuk, Ph.D. in Physics of Semiconductors and Dielectrics, works as an assistant professor, has completed a five-month internship at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (Lowell, USA) from during the year of 2015-2016.
Currently, Dr. Taras Kovaliuk,works at Charles University (Czech Republic, Prague). Research interests: synthesis and crystal growth of new Heusler alloys and solid solutions based on them, investigation of their structural and physical properties.
