Doctor Hubilitate Ghenadii Korotcenkov has more than 50 years of research experience in the field of materials science and the development and research of various devices based on semiconductor materials. Until 1995 he studied Schottky barriers, MOS structures, native oxides, and various photoreceivers based on III-Vs compounds such as InP, GaP, AlGaAs, and InGaAs. His current research interests since 1995 include material sciences, focusing on metal oxide film deposition and characterization (In2O3, SnO2, ZnO, TiO2), surface science, thermoelectric conversion, and design of physical and chemical sensors, including thin film gas sensors.His scientific work has been recognized with numerous awards, including National Prize of the Republic of Moldova (2022), an Award of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova (2019), the Prize of the Presidents of the Ukrainian, Belarus, and Moldovan Academies of Sciences (2003) and others. G. Korotcenkov also received a fellowship from the International Research Exchange Board (IREX, United States, 1998), Brain Korea 21 Program (2008-2012), and BrainPool Program (Korea, 2007-2008 and 2015-2017).
