Victor Chechik

Professor Victor Chechik leads the Chechik Group at the Department of Chemistry, University of York. His research focuses on free radical chemistry, EPR spectroscopy, and functional nanomaterials for medicinal applications. He collaborates with atmospheric chemists, plasma physicists, and industry partners on radical reaction mechanisms.

Key projects include developing radical detection methodologies (e.g., novel mass-spectrometry traps), EPR studies of nanostructured materials, and magnetic nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. The group operates three CW-EPR spectrometers for X- and Q-band analysis.

His work bridges fundamental chemistry with applied nanotechnology, emphasizing mechanistic understanding in areas like semiconductor nanoparticle charge carriers and electroorganic radical chemistry.
