Maxim Paukov

Employee of the Moscow Center for Advanced Studies
I graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) (BSci GPA 4.95 and MSci GPA 5.00), majoring in Physics. For my bachelor’s project I studied current-phase relations in niobium SQUIDs in Institute of Solid-State Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences.
My master’s thesis was dedicated to the ultrafast phenomena emerging in carbon and non-organic nanotubes and the optoelectronic applications in the terahertz (THz) range. This research was done under the supervision of Dr. Burdanova in the Centre for Advanced Studies.
Currently, I am a PhD student here and conduct research on ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy of nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanoparticles, 2D materials). It covers fundamental questions of charge and energy transport in nanostructures as well as applications of the high-absorbing nanomaterials in optoelectronics.
From 2022 to present, I’m teaching Physics at the Department of General Physics at MIPT.

Area of research
Condensed matter physics
Terahertz spectroscopy
Nanomaterials
Light-matter interaction
Ultrafast spectroscopy
Optoelectronics
Education
I teach and conduct several courses at MIPT:

— Laboratory classes in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, atomic and nuclear physics
— Seminars in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, atomic and nuclear physics — Lectures on laser physics (special course for master’s students)

In addition, I take part in various educational projects aimed at improving the level of knowledge in physics in the regions of Russia (Kamchatka), as well as on a global scale (China).
