Self-Assembled Organic-Inorganic Nanostructures

Christian von Borczyskowski is full professor at Technische Universität Chemnitz, Germany. He is one of the pioneers in the optical detection of single molecular spins. His research areas are optical spectroscopy and molecular physics, including microscopy of single molecules and quantum dots, and he is currently involved in single molecular probes in soft matter, nano-assemblies, and dynamics of quantum dots. He has published more than 250 refereed papers and five book chapters. Eduard Zenkevich is full professor of physics at the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and full professor and director of the Research Laboratory of Applied Physics and Informatics, Belarusian National Technical University, Belarus. His research focuses on the structure/dynamics relationship of nanoscale self-assembled objects: multiporphyrin systems, pigment–protein complexes, and functional quantum dot–dye assemblies. Since 1993, he is visiting professor at Technische Universität Chemnitz and accredited expert of RUSNANO Corporation. He acts as a referee for various scientific programs and journals and has contributed more than 200 publications in refereed periodicals.
