Dr. Dubrovin's primary research areas are in optical materials development and application for holography, magneto optical, illumination, downshifting and radiation detection applications. He has over 20 journal, book chapter and conference publications with more than 400 citations in this area. Viktor completed his B.S. and M.S. degrees with honors and received his Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics from ITMO University, Russia, in 2012, 2014, and 2017, respectively. During his postdoctoral program at the UofA from 2019 to 2022, he worked on development highly doped magneto-optical glass materials for the 2μm region. Dr. Dubrovin's current senior research activities at the UofA include the development of highly Ce3+-doped glass material for advanced photonic devices, and large form factor scintillators for nuclear battlefield operations. Materials developed by Dr. Dubrovin have long-term prospects for use in medical imaging, visualization of high-energy particles and radiation, measurement of particle arrival times in colliding beam experiments, neutrino and dark matter detectors, and in creating optical elements resistant to high levels of ionizing radiation for critical infrastructure, communication, and illumination.
