Description of the field of scientific research:

Maxim’s research interests include the extraction and molecular fractionation of soil organic matter and humic substances. He studies the self-organization of the supramolecular structure of humic substances, the compositional structure of humus at the nanoscale, as well as the bioactivity of nanoparticles and supramolecular structures.

List of duties:

Maxim Popirny holds a PhD in Biological Sciences and works as a researcher at the Laboratory of Organic Fertilizers and Humus of the National Scientific Center “Institute for Soil Science and Agrochemistry Research named after O. N. Sokolovsky.” His work focuses on the development of physicochemical methods for studying and analysing organic matter and humic substances in the agricultural soils of Ukraine.

Professional experience:

Since 2023 — Researcher, Laboratory of Organic Fertilisers and Humus, National Scientific Center “O. N. Sokolovsky Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry”.
