Biography

Kislon Voïtchovsky is currently an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) at Durham University, UK. His research focuses on “Molecular-level phenomena occurring at solid/liquid interfaces”. He is particularly interested in mesoscale effects (1-10 nm) that occur at the boundary between atomistic and continuum descriptions of the liquid. Such effects tend to occur in systems where the solid is structurally and chemically  heterogeneous on the nanoscale and can give rise to unforeseeable phenomena, often induced by molecular group effects. He is an expert in Atomic Force Microscopy in Liquid and developed an experimental approach to map the local behavior of interfacial liquids with sub-nanometer precision.
