Vladimir P. Oleshko received his B.S. degree in Physical Chemistry, M.S. (Summa Cum Laude) and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry, Catalysis and Kinetics from Lomonosov Moscow State University. He was a group leader and senior research fellow at the Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Vladimir gained expertise in cryo-analytical electron microscopy (AEM) as an invited and visiting scientist at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and then at Polaroid. He actively pursued research in high-resolution, environmental, and in situ scanning and transmission AEM in the John Cowley Center for HREM at ASU, Intel, UVa, UA, and UMD. Dr Oleshko joined the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2010.
Dr. Oleshko's areas of scientific expertise are applications of 3D, in situ, cryo- and analytical EM in research and development of emerging nanostructured functional materials. Throughout his career as a material scientist, he studied structural mechanisms of physicochemical processes and phase transformations in variety of engineering material systems, including catalysts, lithium batteries, nanotubes, 2D materials, alloys, polymers, and nanocomposites with major focus on structure – property relationships and multimode characterization using electron, X-ray, and ion microscopy techniques. Vladimir Oleshko has also contributed to advancing the methodology of material diagnostics via the development of plasmon spectroscopy and imaging of nanoscale physical properties, manipulation of nanoobjects with electron beams (“electron tweezers”), and a MEMS-based integrated analytical FESEM-FIB-S/(T)EM/EELS/EDXS platform. Dr. Oleshko holds 9 U.S./international patents and patent applications. He co-authored over 270 peer-reviewed scientific publications, including 127 regular journal papers, 6 book chapters, 3 reviews, and over 110 presentations at international and national scientific congresses, workshops, and conferences, with 35 invited talks and lectures.
