Ilya V. Pankov received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 2018. His Ph.D. thesis focused on the synthesis and quantum-chemical modelling of magnetically active polynuclear coordination compounds. In 2020 he joined the “2D materials and confined catalysis” lab based at SFedU, and is carrying out synthesis and research of 2D materials, such as transition metal trihalcogenides and graphene. While working on this project, he obtained expertise in TEM measurements and is currently performing research of a wide spectrum of objects on JEOL JEM-F200 at SFedU, as well as sample preparation for TEM measurements.
