Biography

My experience could be briefly described as:
- Experienced lecturer (about 10 years). During my career I taught such courses as: “Introductory Physics” (Algebra and Calculus based, all sequences offered at Temple University); conceptual courses “Science of Sound”; ”How things work”; “Physics of Motion and Matter” “Waves, Fields and Modern Physics”; “Acoustics”; “Astronomy” graduate courses “Mathematical Physics”, “Analytical Mechanics”, “Quantum Mechanics”, “Electrodynamics”, “Physics of Semiconductors”, “Physics of Superconductivity”, “Semiconductor Devices” etc. In fact, I could teach any course concerning Physics, Material Science or Mathematics;
- Experienced hi-tech scientist, applied theoretician, always working in close collaboration with experimental/technology teams. Main areas of the expertise include physics of semiconductors and semiconductor devices, nanostructures, microwave devices, wide band gap semiconductors (SiC, GaN, CdS), noise in microwave and optical devices, power Si, SiC, GaN devices, Si bipolar and Field Effect Transistors, different aspects of microphotonics and detection of terahertz radiation;
- Experienced in numerical modeling of electron-hole phenomena in semiconductors (transport and optical properties), programming experience in C, C++, Fortran, Mathematica; platforms: UNIX, LINUX, Windows; Numerical Methods.
