My name is Alisa Kotliarenko. I am a PhD candidate in Physics at the University of Ferrara. In 2017 I graduated National technical university of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” and obtained qualification Master's degree in Technical Electrochemistry with honours. My professional qualification is a research engineer and industrial engineer in chemical technologies. Since 2018 I have been taking part in Surface Technologies and Superconductivity Service at Legnaro National Laboratory – National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN-LNL) in Italy. My research activities are strongly connected with different Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) techniques, such as magnetron sputtering, chemical vapour deposition and cathodic vacuum arc deposition. My research activity is more connected with producing solid targets for radionuclide production using a low-energy medical cyclotron.
