Rate My Professor Maksym Rybachuk

Dr. Rybachuk's research specializes in the synthesis, processing, and modification of advanced materials using plasma and ultra-short femtosecond laser technologies, particularly ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors including diamond, diamond-like carbon (DLC), amorphous carbon nitride (aC:N), and carbyne. His efforts target industry applications in space and defence through strategic collaborations. He has authored 48 publications garnering over 1,340 citations. Key publications encompass 'Ultrashort 30 fs Laser Photoablation for High-Precision and Damage-Free Diamond Machining' (2025), 'Assessment of dose-dependent surface modification of human enamel and dentin with ultrashort femtosecond 30-fs 800 nm laser irradiation' (2024), 'Effects of Xanthan Gum Biopolymer on Soil Mechanical Properties' (2023), 'Optimised diamond to graphite conversion via a metastable sp1-bonded carbon chain formation under an ultra-short femtosecond (30 fs) laser irradiation' (2023), and 'Femtosecond laser micromachining of diamond: Current research status, applications and challenges' (2021). In teaching, he delivers courses on materials science, materials engineering, and materials processing technology, including plasma and high-energy processes, within BEng (Hons) and MEng programs.
