Work and Education History
Since 1995. Chief of the Department of Crystals. Institute of Physics, Kyiv.
• The concept of diluted liquid crystal suspension, in particular, ferroelectric liquid crystal suspensions was introduced.
• The effects of electrically-driven light scattering in filled nematic liquid crystals were studied. The effective control of their characteristics by a chemical modification of silica surface was achieved.
• The model of filled nematic structure as conglomerates of silica particles in liquid crystal matrix was proposed and proved.
• The control of anchoring parameters of liquid crystals with photoalignment technique was realized.
• Surface bistability of liquid crystal on a photoalignment surface was found and studied.
• The liquid crystal photoalignment technology was developed and used for mass production.
• A surface mediated photorefraction of liquid crystal was found.
1989-1995. Senior Research Fellow. Institute of Physics, Department of Quantum Electronics, Kyiv.
• The effect of photoalignment of liquid crystals under the action of polarized light was discovered and applied for the alignment of liquid crystals in liquid crystal displays.
• The conformational optical nonlinearity in two-phase region of liquid crystal was found and studied.
• Surface driven reorientation effects in a liquid crystal cell with photosensitive orientant were found and studied.

• The effects of action of liquid crystal anchoring on the parameters of small angle light scattering were found and studied.
• The method of the measurement of anchoring energy with light scattering technique was developed.
• The effect of a light-induced change of a cholesteric pitch under molecule phototransformations was found and studied.
• Light-induced conformational molecular transitions with the efficiency more than unit was found

1979-1984. Postgraduate student under supervision of Prof. M.Soskin. Institute of Physics, Kyiv.
• “Giant” optical nonlinearity of liquid crystals caused by phototransformation of their molecules (“conformational nonlinearity”) was found and studied.
