Curriculum vitae of A. Yu. Orlov
I was born in Moscow on 09.06.1965. I graduated from the Lomonosov Moscow Institute
of Fine Chemical Technology in February, 1988 with honour. Since July, 1988 I took a post graduate course at Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry. Since September, 1990 I was
employed as a junior research scientist at. Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry. I received
my Ph. D. degree in January, 1997 at Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry. The title of my
thesis is: «Mechanism of radiation - induced chemical processes in the polycarbonate - poly
(alkylene terephthalate) systems and their components». Since April, 1997 I was employed as
research scientist at the same institute. Since January, 1998 I am employed as a research
scientist at the Institute of Synthetic Polymeric Materials of the Russian Academy of
Sciences. The field of my expertise comprises radiation chemistry of organic solids and
polymers, especially as studied by low-temperature IR and ESR spectroscopy. I got
experience in the spectroscopic studies of the radiation-induced intermediates, including
matrix isolation experiments. I took part in several national and international scientific
conferences devoted to the problems of low-temperature chemistry, radiation chemistry of
polymers, spectroscopy and matrix isolation. During the past two years I was involved in the
studies of organic radical cations in low-temperature matrices carried out under supervision
of Prof. Feldman in the frame of joint project INTAS-RFBR 95-0008 (in co-operation with
the group of Prof. Lund, University of Linkoping, Sweden).
