Irina Buyanova

Irina A. Buyanova received her PhD in solid-state physics in 1987 from the Institute for Semiconductors, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev. In 1994, she joined the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Linköping University, Sweden. In 2002, she was awarded a senior researcher grant of excellence from the Swedish Research Council followed by a professorship at Linköping University in 2007. Prof. Buyanova’s current research interests focus on the physics and applications of novel spintronic materials, advanced electronic and photonic materials based on wide-bandgap semiconductors and highly mismatched semiconductors, and related nanostructures.
