معرفی
Iouri Gounko is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Trinity College Dublin, where he also serves as the Director of Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials. His academic journey began with an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Moscow State University, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Sussex and the University of Magdeburg, supported by prestigious Royal Society and Alexander von Humboldt Fellowships.
His research spans advanced nanomaterials, with a focus on chiral nanostructures, quantum dots, magnetic-plasmonic systems, and their applications in bioimaging, water remediation, and optoelectronics. His work integrates inorganic synthesis, spectroscopy, and materials engineering to develop functional nanosystems.
Recent publications reveal a strong trend in chirality engineering at the nanoscale, core-shell nanostructures, and environmental applications such as microplastic detection and dye degradation. His group frequently investigates energy transfer mechanisms, optical activity, and biomedical functionality of hybrid nanomaterials.
