The Laboratory of Theoretical Bases of Microelectronics was founded by Prof. Robert A. Suris in 1988.
Current research areas:
- Electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures
- Two-dimensional electron systems
- Excitons and excitonic complexes
- Luminescence in semiconductors and nanostructures
- Nanophotonics and metamaterials
- Nanomaterials and composites
- Growth of materials and nanostructures
- Theory and Computer Simulation of Radiation Processes and Defects in Materials
