Person of the Week
Konstantin Bliokh
Self-introduction
My name is Konstantin Bliokh, and I joined the Interdisciplinary Fundamental Physics Team of iTHES this September. I received a M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Kharkov National University in 1998 and 2001, respectively. In 2001–2009, I worked at the Institute of Radio Astronomy (Kharkov, Ukraine) and collaborated with a number of scientific groups worldwide. I was a post-doctoral fellow in 2003–2006 at Bar-Ilan University (Israel), a Linkage International research fellow in 2008–2009 at the Australian National University (Canberra, Australia) and a Marie Curie research fellow in 2009–2011 at the National University of Ireland (Galway, Ireland). Starting from 2011, I was a researcher in the Digital Material Laboratory at Advanced Science Institute, RIKEN.
My ongoing research areas include: geometric phases; spin-orbit interactions; optical angular momentum; wave propagation, localization, and scattering in inhomogeneous and random media; dynamics of spins and vortices in external fields (Hall and Magnus effects); quantum weak measurements; relativistic wave equations; electron vortices; adiabatic, WKB, geometrical optics theories; optical currents, polarization, and singularities; plasmonics and metamaterials; coupling and resonances.
My scientific results have been published in 73 peer-reviewed full-length papers (more than 1300 citations, h-index 22), 4 book chapters, and presented in numerous conferences and workshops.
I am looking forward to fruitful collaborations, discussions and new great results within the iTHES team.
