Eduard Rusanov

Eduard Rusanov is a Senior Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Inorganic Functional Materials under Prof. Maxim Komalenko. He holds a PhD in Organoelement Chemistry from the National Academy of Science Ukraine (1997) and an M.S. in Chemistry from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (1993). His primary research focuses on small-molecule crystallography and inorganic materials synthesis. He concurrently serves as a part-time Visiting Professor at Taras Shevchenko University (2012–2022) and previously led the X-ray Single Crystal Diffraction Centre at the Institute of Organic Chemistry in Ukraine (2013–2022). His work spans over 330 publications, emphasizing structural chemistry and materials design, with applications in catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and nanotechnology. Key contributions include studies on heterocyclic compounds, quantum dot synthesis, and high-pressure crystal engineering. His research integrates experimental methods like X-ray diffraction with computational approaches (e.g., DFT), advancing understanding of molecular structures and their functional properties.

His academic trajectory includes postdoctoral roles at York University, the University of Neuchâtel, and Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, where he specialized in crystallography and quantum chemistry. His expertise bridges organic/inorganic chemistry with advanced materials development. Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, but his extensive publication record (3,851 citations, H-index 33) underscores his significant scholarly impact.
