Research interests: Modeling of electrochemical processes (e.g. plating processes, corrosion, cathodic protection). Numerical solvers are developed, tested and applied. Current density distributions, layer thickness distributions, concentration distributions are computed in reactors and experimental set-ups. The models are based on the dilute solution theory (convection, diffusion, and migration) or on potential theory. They are gradually improved by considering additional effects such as: natural convection, temperature, gas evolution, etc.

Research interests: Surface chemistry and electrochemistry of metals and semiconductors. The main focus is on the study of surface processes occurring at the solid/solution interface: deposition, etching, and redox chemistry. Role played by the electronic properties of the electrode in determining the mechanism and kinetics of such reactions. Electrochemical techniques are used for the characterization of semiconductors: group IV (Si, SiC, diamond), III-V (GaAS, InP, GaP), and II-VI (CdS, ZnSe, ZnO) materials. Porous semiconductors. This work finds application in fields such as galvanic deposition and semiconductor device technology.
