Rate My Professor Maksym Myronov

Maksym Myronov is an Associate Professor and Leader of the Semiconductors Research Group in the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick. He holds a PhD and an MSc. Since 2008, he has established SiGe Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (RP-CVD) growth capabilities at Warwick, leading their development and expansion to include Si-Ge-C-Sn and SiC epitaxial growth. In 2014, he led the expansion of the department's cleanroom infrastructure to state-of-the-art ISO 3 to ISO 7 facilities. In 2015, he led the installation and commissioning of the UK's first Silicon Carbide (SiC) CVD system, enabling growth of 3C-, 4H-, and 6H-SiC polytypes. In 2019, he led the installation, commissioning, and establishment of research programmes for the Agile Microfabrication Facility. His research encompasses the science and technology of materials and solid-state devices for electronics, photonics, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, spintronics, cryogenics, sensors, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (NEMS), energy storage, and quantum technologies. This includes epitaxy of thin films and novel low-dimensional Group-IV semiconductors (Silicon, Germanium, Silicon Germanium, Silicon Carbon, Germanium Tin, Silicon Tin Germanium, 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC, 6H-SiC) using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), and Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD), as well as 2D materials (Germanene, Stanene, Silicene, Graphene) and III-V semiconductors (InSb, InGaAs, GaN) integrated with Si on Sapphire and SOI substrates.
