Victor Kislyuk
Ph.D.
Languages for professional communication:
Ukrainian, English, French, German
Description of the field of scientific research:
Victor studies the mechanical properties of polymers and polymer-based materials, with a particular focus on polymer encapsulants for photovoltaic modules and the prediction of their service lifetime in solar energy systems. His research interests also include organic semiconductors, solar cells, and solar energy conversion technologies.
His work employs magnetic resonance techniques (EPR and NMR), differential scanning calorimetry, UV–Vis and infrared spectroscopy, Raman scattering, impedance spectroscopy, as well as methods for the synthesis and characterization of metal nanoparticles.
List of duties:
Victor holds the position of Senior Research Fellow. He conducts research in materials physics and polymer systems, participates in international research projects, peer review of scientific publications, and expert working groups. He also has experience in teaching and grant proposal preparation.
Professional experience:
Victor's professional experience includes research, teaching, and applied work in materials physics and semiconductor science. From 1991 to 2000, he worked at the Institute of Semiconductor Physics of the NAS of Ukraine, progressing from process engineer to research scientist. Between 2000 and 2011, he was engaged in teaching at the Faculty of Radiophysics of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
In 2011–2012, he worked as a Research Scientist at the Institute of Physics of the NAS of Ukraine, followed by professional activity at the training center of Renault Ukraine (2012–2017). Since 2017, he has been a Senior Research Fellow at the G. V. Kurdyumov Institute for Metal Physics of the NAS of Ukraine. He is a member of international scientific societies, a peer reviewer for academic journals, and a participant in COST Action CA23109 focused on material fatigue assessment.
