Ilia Smirnov

PhD in chemistry. Thesis entitled "Morphology evolution in mono- and bimetallic FCC nanoparticles" defended on 6th of September 2023. Master degree from Abo Akademi University of Turku (Finland). Education - Tver (Russia). At the final stage of his thesis Ilia has developed new method for nanoparticles bulk morphology analysis: Multidomain XRD approach (article where Ilia is a principal and corresponding author has been just accepted to Nanoscale, IF(2021) 8.307). Mastering use of the Cluster software developed in our lab, Ilia proposed new insight into formation of 3D multitwinned structures in FCC metals, the phenomenon being quite common but usually not noticed although potentially affecting optical, catalytic, magnetic etc. properties.
