Research and Teaching Interests: Composite and Hybrid Materials and Functional Structures based on based on 0-D (nanoparticles) and 1-D (nanofibers) carbon and ceramic constituents; Phase Development and Interface Phenomena in Multiscale Nanostructured Materials; Functional carbon- and ceramic-based nanomaterials and nanostructures for catalytic, environmental, and biomedical applications.

Office Hours: By appointment only

Education:

  • B.S., Belarusian State University of Informatics and RadioElectronics, Electrical Engineering
  • M.S., Belarusian State University of Informatics and RadioElectronics, Electrical Engineering
  • Ph.D., Institute of Solid State Physics & Semiconductors of the Belarus Academy of Sciences, Physics and Mathematics, Concentration: Solid State Physics

Professor Stanishevsky graduated from Belarusian State University of Informatics and RadioElectronics and then joined Plasmoteg Engineering Center of the Belarus Academy of Sciences. He was awarded an NRC postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research at PennState on CVD diamond films and later worked as research faculty in the University of Maryland Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), where he also developed one of the first undergraduate courses in nanoscience. Among other things since joining the UAB Department of Physics, Stanishevsky has provided multiple opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to conduct research abroad under the National Science Foundation-funded IRES, MWN, and IREE programs.
