Dr. Goran Karapetrov is Associate professor in Physics at Drexel University. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1991 and obtained his Ph.D. from Oregon State University in 1996. Prior to joining Drexel faculty in 2011, Dr. Karapetrov was a staff member at Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. He has a track record of accomplishments in the areas of physics of strongly correlated electron systems and mesoscopic materials for electrocatalysis. Dr. Karapetrov has published more than 100 publications in international journals and has several patent awards. He is an active member of APS and MRS.

Research Interests
Strongly correlated electron systems, scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy, emergent phenomena in mesoscopic systems, mechanisms of catalysis on atomic scale
