Congratulations to Ekaterina Ponkratova on successfully defending her PhD thesis and becoming a postdoc! Ekaterina’s work is devoted to developing simple and scalable methods for creating nanosystems that have a sensitive optical response to bioanalytes and can efficiently decompose them under light.
Optical detection of biological analytes is one of the key areas of modern science thanks to the high sensitivity of resonant nanophotonic structures to changes in their environment. This makes it possible to detect low concentrations of various analytes in a short time. At the same time, creating nanostructures with a given morphology and phase composition plays an important role in developing efficient photocatalytic systems. Most existing methods for producing such nanostructures, such as chemical or lithographic ones, remain complex and labor-intensive. Ekaterina’s research aims to overcome these limitations and simplify the creation of nanosystems for biosensing and photocatalysis. We wish Ekaterina new scientific successes!
