Dr Kiril A Pandelisev

Dr. Pandelisev’s extensive career spans decades of significant contributions in both the academic and scientific realms, before transitioning into business. With more than 20 years as an educator and researcher in physics and material sciences, he has left a substantial mark on both scientific communities and the educational system.

• He has authored over 40 articles in scientific and technical journals, contributed to numerous proceedings, and holds over 100 patents granted or pending in the USA and internationally. Dr. Pandelisev’s textbooks in physics, first published in the early 1980s, have been used for over 20 years at both high school and university levels, shaping generations of students’ understanding of complex scientific principles.
• As a passionate advocate for science among young people, Dr. Pandelisev has played an active role in several youth science programs. He led the School for Young Physicists in the Republic of Macedonia and has served as a judge at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) for more than 20 years. His dedication to fostering young scientific talent includes his formation and sponsorship of the Best of Philippines at ISEF Award Program in 2016, as well as his ongoing support for science programs in both the Philippines and globally.
• Dr. Pandelisev's scientific work has focused on various critical areas, including the crystal growth process, materials purification, and advanced technologies for medical imaging and oil well exploration. He has also contributed significantly to fiber optics technology, developing new processes for the fabrication of materials such as CaF2 and fused silica for 157nm applications, as well as working on silicon-based products for microchip manufacturing. His research collaborations include work with prestigious institutions and corporations, such as St. Cyril and Methodius University, Arizona State University, Johnson-Matthey Corporation, and Horiba Instruments Corporation.
• Dr. Pandelisev’s educational journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Physics in 1973, supported by a scholarship from the Fund for Young Talents of Yugoslavia. He earned his Master of Science in Physics of Thin Films in 1976, followed by a Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) in Physics in 1984 under the mentorship of Prof. Edward Y. Wang at Arizona State University. His academic journey also included a Fulbright Scholarship in 1979 and a subsequent position at the International Institute for Theoretical Physics in Italy, where he was offered roles in both Italy and Arizona State University for groundbreaking work in autonomous crystal growth.
• From 1985 to 1988, Dr. Pandelisev led a team working on the autonomous growth of gallium arsenide crystals under a USAF/DARPA grant. Later, he participated in a joint research effort between the USAF and the Canadian government on large charge crystal growth of gallium arsenide from 1988 to 1990.
• Dr. Pandelisev has been elected to several prestigious professional organizations, including the American Physical Society, the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the American Association for Crystal Growth, and many others, reflecting his deep commitment to the advancement of science.

In recognition of his groundbreaking work and contributions, Dr. Pandelisev continues to influence the scientific world, particularly in the fields of materials science, crystal growth, and sustainable energy technologies.
