Andrii Goriachko

Andrii Goriachko is an Assistant Professor at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev, specializing in Surface Science, Nanophysics, and Nanoelectronics. His research focuses on self-assembled nanostructures and advanced electron emission technologies.

• Education:
  • M.Sc. (1991–1997): Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
  • PhD (1997–2001): Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev
  • Ph.D. (2001–2002): Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus

Goriachko’s work explores self-assembled nanostructures on metals, semiconductors, and 2D materials, with applications in electron emitters and catalyst scaffolds. His recent projects include EU-funded research on Boron Nitride Nanomesh and a 2021 Ukrainian Ministry grant on electron emitting surfaces.

Selected Publications (2015–2021) highlight his expertise in scanning tunneling microscopy, surface reconstruction, and nanomaterial synthesis, with key contributions to SiC nanoneedles and graphene-based heterostructures.

• Scientific Awards:
  • Principal Investigator, Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine Grant (2021–2022)

Goriachko’s technical skills span scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and physical/chemical vapor deposition of advanced materials. His future work will evaluate SiC nanoneedles for electron emission under electric fields.
