Dmitry Mikulik

Research Scientist

Professor: Pavlos Lagoudakis

Dmitry graduated from St. Petersburg Electro-Technical Institute with M.Sc. degree in electronics and microelectronics in 2007. Next, he started to work at Ioffe Institute focusing on developing novel semiconductor structures for microelectronics applications. In 2012 Dmitry joined leading global semiconductor company – Samsung Electronics, where he worked on GaN-on-Si technology for LED applications and advanced epitaxy of Si and Ge for new types of semiconductor memory. From 2014 till 2018 Dmitry was a Ph.D. student at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, where he recently successfully defended his work on advanced characterization of nanowire photovoltaic devices and obtained a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science. During 9 months in 2017, Dmitry was a visiting scientist in McIntyre lab at Stanford University, working on high-k dielectric ALD passivation of Si and III-V semiconductor nano/microstructures.
