Labunov Vladimir A

Vladimir A. Labunov received the Ph.D. and doctoral degrees in physics of solids from the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics, Minsk, Belarus. He is currently a Professor, Lecturer, and Chief Scientific Researcher in the Department of Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics, and a member of Belarusian National Academy of Sciences. His scientific carrier started from microelectronics, where the main focus of the scientific research was “interaction of plasma, ion, electron beams, and optical radiation with solids for application in production of integrated circuits.” In this area, he has more than 400 scientific papers and 500 patents. During the last ten years, the group that carried out under his leadership the research focused on the development of nanostructured inorganic and organic functional materials based on carbon, porous silicon, and oxides of valve metals (such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanowires) for creation of nanocomponents for information and communication systems of new generation, such as transistors, magnetic field sensors, magnetic storage and information processing devices, microwave elements, solar cells, displays, organic LED panels, microfuel cells, etc. In this field, he has more than 100 scientific publications and 5 patents. He is a Scientific Supervisor of the national programs such as “Nanoelectronics and Microsistems,” “Electronics,” and “Information Technologies.”
