My Expertise
Over the past 18 years I developed an expertise in field of low temperature transport measurements of nanoscale semiconductor devices. I have been working with a broad range of mesoscopic devices based on GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductors. These include two, one and zero dimensional devices with both electrons and holes as charge carriers. As a Chief Investigator of an ARC CoE in Future Low- Energy Electronics Technology, I worked on realization of artificially designed electronic materials based on conventional semiconductor systems and nanopatterning techniques to fabricate two dimensional lateral superlattices.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Semiconductor Physics at Lviv National University (Ukraine) in 2000 and received my PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from UNSW in 2008. In 2014, I was awarded an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), and in 2017 I became a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET). I joined UNSW Canberra in 2018 as a Lecturer in the School of Science and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2022.
Since 2006, I have published 69 peer-reviewed papers, including articles in Nature Communications, Nano Letters, Physical Review Letters, and Applied Physics Letters. My work has attracted more than 1000 citations and I hold an h-index of 22 (Web of Science). I have presented my research at major national and international conferences (32 presentations), including eight invited talks.

My Research Activities
My research focuses on low-temperature quantum transport measurements of nanoscale semiconductor devices. Over the past 18 years, I have developed extensive expertise in the design, fabrication, and measurement of mesoscopic GaAs/AlGaAs devices, including two-, one-, and zero-dimensional systems. Within FLEET, I contributed to the development of artificially engineered electronic materials, using advanced nanofabrication and patterning techniques to create two-dimensional lateral superlattices and explore emergent electronic band structures.
