Yury Rakovich

Yury Rakovich is an Ikerbasque Research Professor at the Materials Physics Center (MPC) in Donostia/San Sebastián, Spain. He leads the Nanomaterials and Spectroscopy Group, focusing on light-matter interactions in hybrid nanostructures such as quantum dots, metal nanoparticles, and J-aggregates. His work spans photonic applications, plasmon-exciton coupling, and field-enhanced spectroscopy.

• Research Topics: Exciton-plasmon interactions, microcavity optics, nonclassical light emission, and nanoscale energy transfer.
• Education: Implied through academic leadership and collaborations, though specific degrees aren't detailed.
• Students and Collaborators: Mentored PhD students including Alba Jumbo Nogales, Joscha Kruse, and Maria Sanromán, with visiting researchers like Prof. Mikhail Vasilevskiy and Prof. John Donegan.
• Infrastructure: Utilizes facilities in Photonics and Chemistry at MPC.
• Recent Publications: Explore DNA-assembled nanocrystals, thermoplasmonic oscillations, and plasmon-enhanced photochemistry, reflecting interdisciplinary expertise in nanomaterials and spectroscopy.
