Patricia Kaas “Mademoiselle chante le blues”
Welcome! Graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and belonging to Landau School of theoretical physics I am always trying to follow the highest research and teaching standards, keeping the delicate balance between fundamental and applied research, collaboration with experimentalists, teaching, supervision of PhD students and management of research projects. International collaborations, mobility, organization of the dissemination and training events, coordination of European actions is another important part of my activity. Highly believing in the necessity of high-level research in academia, I apply all my knowledge and expertise to select the quality, competence and long-range research strategy as decisive criteria of scientific policy

Switchable chirality The field-switchable chirality to create the neuromorphic computers that mimic the human brain was suggested...
Multivalued logic A map to use ferroelectric material suggests processing information using multivalued logic - a leap beyond the simple "1" and "0" making up our current computing systems that could let us process information much more ...
Quartz, the puzzle of light scattering A new phase discovered in quartz solves the 60-years problem of anomalous light scattering, which is the strongest scattering known in nature.
The famous Landau expression: "No one can cancel the Coulomb law" is often overlooked in attempts to understand the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectrics ...
MSc training since 2011
The objective of the Master of Science program, Physics and Engineering of Nanomaterials, PHINAM, founded and led by Prof. Igor Lukyanchuk in University of Picardie, France, is to train students through research in the fabrication, characterization, and modeling of functional nanomaterials for public and private research laboratories.
Integrating negative capacitance into the field-effect transistors (FET) promises to break fundamental limits of power dissipation known as Boltzmann tyranny. However, realization of the stable static negative capacitance in the non-transient regime without hysteresis remains a daunting task. Here we put forth an ingenious design for the ferroelectric domain-based FET with the stable reversible static negative capacitance... Nature partner journal: Computational Materials, 52 (2022)
