Mikhail Masharin

Mikhail Masharin is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the BioNanoPhotonic Systems Lab (BIOS) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), part of the School of Engineering. He holds a PhD in Physics from ITMO University (2023) and a Master's in Nanophotonics and Metamaterials (2020), also from ITMO. His Bachelor's in Solid State Physics was completed at Novosibirsk State University (2018). Prior to EPFL, he was an Invited Researcher at UNAM Bilkent University (2022–2023).

His research focuses on nanophotonics, optical metasurfaces, and experimental optics, with a particular emphasis on halide perovskites, exciton-polaritons, and micro/nano-fabrication. His work addresses applications in optical biosensors, nonlinear optics, and quantum phenomena in advanced materials.

Key research trends include the development of polariton-based devices, nonlinear optical effects in perovskites, and bio-compatible photonic materials. His studies bridge fundamental research with applied technologies, such as gas sensing via perovskite nanowires and stable perovskite nanocrystals for biomedical imaging.

Masharin's lab, BIOS, specializes in bio-nano-photonic systems, integrating optics with biosensors and advanced material fabrication. His research contributes to both foundational science and translational applications in photonics and materials engineering.
