Biography
Vladimir I. Gavrilenko is a founder and chief executive officer of Vlexco LLC, an engineering consultancy focused on optical, electrical, nanotechnological, and materials engineering initiatives. He received his MS from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, and his PhD and DSc (habilitation) from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. His academic and research background is based on computational materials science and optics of surfaces and interfaces. Dr. Gavrilenko has extensive experience in industry and academia. For several decades, he taught graduate university courses in materials science and optics of materials. He has authored and coauthored more than 140 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, two books, and seven book chapters.
"Vladimir Gavrilenko has developed an extremely useful book for scientists who are interested in the rapidly developing field of nanomaterials with emphasis on the optical properties of these materials. The book covers many different kinds of optical properties (linear and nonlinear, coherent and incoherent) and many different kinds of materials (carbon and silicon-based, metals, semiconductors, and biological nanomaterials). For each topic there is a careful discussion of fundamental theory as well as specific applications that have proven important to the development of the field. There are also extensive citations to recent papers."

"The author is well known in this field and the book reflects his depth of knowledge and experience. It covers a number of areas, from fundamentals of optics of quantum-confined systems, to the integration of photonics with nanoscale detection and covers carbon, semiconductor and organic nanomaterials. The book is well illustrated. I recommend it as a useful, technical introduction to the optics of nanomaterials, both at a fundamental level of understanding and in terms of measurement and current material properties."
