Yehor Surkov

Yehor Surkov is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Particle Physics and Astrophysics at the University of Helsinki's Department of Physics (Faculty of Science). His work bridges experimental optics and planetary science, with recent research involving bioaerosol scattering mechanisms and lunar surface analysis. He participates in two active projects (2024–2026): Planetary System in Scattered Light (Research Council of Finland) and BF/CELLIGHT (Business Finland).

Research interests include optical scattering phenomena, planetary remote sensing techniques, and bioaerosol physics. Collaborations span international teams in physics and space science.

His 2025 publications address cutting-edge methods for analyzing single bioaerosol particles and lunar surface brightness models using LROC WAC data. The latter work provides tools for future planetary exploration missions.

Current projects focus on advancing observational techniques for planetary systems and developing novel light-scattering methodologies applicable to both Earth-based and space-based sensors.
