Olga Kulikova

Olga Kulikova is an Associate Professor and Leading Scientific Researcher at the Laboratory of Physics of Semiconductor Compounds “Sergiu Radautsan” within the Institute of Applied Physics (IFA) in Chișinău, Moldova. Her research focuses on coordination polymers, crystal engineering, luminescent materials, and semiconductor materials. She holds a Ph.D. and has been actively involved in numerous national and international research projects, including FP7 and H2020 initiatives.

Her work spans the synthesis, structural characterization, and functional properties of coordination compounds, with particular emphasis on photoluminescence, magnetic properties, and applications in sensing and biomedical fields. Key projects include studies on zinc and cadmium-based coordination networks, transition metal-organic materials, and the design of chemosensors.

Publications highlight her contributions to understanding luminescence quenching mechanisms, structural variability in coordination polymers, and the development of materials for biomedical applications. Her research often integrates crystal engineering principles with advanced spectroscopic techniques to explore material functionality.
