معرفی
Alexei V. Tivanski is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Iowa, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His research group specializes in physical and analytical chemistry using advanced Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) techniques to study systems at the nanoscale.
- Education: PhD in Chemistry (University of Pittsburgh), MS in Physics and Technology (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology)
Research focuses on two primary themes:
- Nanoscience/Materials Science: Investigating size-dependent electrical, mechanical, and (photo)-reactivity properties of nano- and macro-dimensional solids for applications in sensing, energy storage, and device development.
- Atmospheric/Environmental Chemistry: Applying AFM-based methods to measure humidity-dependent 3D morphology, water uptake, phase state, and surface tension of submicrometer environmental particles, with implications for climate modeling and air quality studies.
The group's publications demonstrate expertise in AFM nanomechanics, aerosol particle characterization, and interdisciplinary collaborations spanning environmental science, materials engineering, and biomedical applications.
Affiliations: University of Iowa Chemistry Stores, Materials Analysis and Fabrication (MATFab), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility, and Shared Instrumentation resources.
