Nikolay Makarov

Dr. Nikolay Makarov is the Senior Director of Analytics at UbiQD. He received his bachelors of science in mathematics at St. Petersburg State University and received his PhD in physics from Montana State University in 2010. Before joining UbiQD in the summer of 2016, Dr. Makarov held postdoctoral positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Over the past four years, Dr. Makarov’s research has mainly focused on understanding the optoelectronic properties of quantum dots, with a special focus on the same I-III-VI quantum dots that UbiQD is commercializing. Nikolay is an expert in ultrafast and steady-state spectroscopy (including time-correlated single photon counting measurements, PLQY, time-resolved and steady-state PL, ultrafast transient absorption and multi-photon absorption spectroscopy). Dr. Makarov is highly experienced with photoluminescence experiments, with numerous peer-reviewed publications, where he has studied the emission properties of QD solutions and thin films as well as nanocomposites.
