Dr. Maksym O. Stetsenko received his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the V.E. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (ISP NASU), in 2016. During his doctoral research, he co-developed a phase-anisotropy surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biorefractometer. He subsequently served as a Senior Researcher at ISP NASU from 2019 to 2022. In 2019, he joined Shenzhen University, China, as a Postdoctoral Fellow and continued his postdoctoral research at Westlake University, Hangzhou, China, from 2021 to 2023. In 2024, he was appointed Research Assistant Professor at Westlake University. Since 2025, he has been an Associate Professor at the Turan International Research Center and Managing Editor of the Turan Journal of Applied Engineering.
His research interests include nanophotonics, optical engineering, micro- and nanofabrication, advanced functional nanomaterials, and optoelectronic devices. His work focuses on carbon-based nanomaterials, including graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes, as well as MXenes, electron-beam-induced transformation of two-dimensional materials, plasmonic nanostructures, perovskite nanomaterials, and advanced optical characterization techniques for photonic, sensing, and energy-related applications.
