About Fizouli Faradjev

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Fizouli E. Faradjev graduated with honors from the Faculty of Radioelectronics of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in 1969 and from the postgraduate program of the A.F. Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute in 1973. In 1974 he defended his candidate's dissertation. In 1975-1977 he worked as a visiting researcher at the Laboratory of Solid State Physics of the Pierre and Marie Curie University - Paris VI. From 1977 to 1995: Head of the Laboratory, founder and first head of the student design bureau, Associate Professor, Professor, and in 1990-1995 Head of the Department of Semiconductor Physics, Chairman of the Academic Council for the Defense of Dissertations of the Physics Faculty of the Azerbaijan State University, a member of the Presidential Council on Science and Education, is the author of the article "Serving Science, Not Being a Servant," which was published in the central press and received widespread public attention in Azerbaijani scientific circles in the 1990s. After moving to Sweden, he worked as a visiting researcher at Latronix AB, the Royal Institute of Technology, and at the laboratory of Theodor Svedberg at Uppsala University. He teaches classes to senior undergraduate and doctoral students as part of the seminar "Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Light in Condensed Matter." F.E. Faradjev is an expert in laser and photoelectron spectroscopy in quantum-size semiconductor structures and the author of over 300 scientific papers. His main areas of research include the study of new phenomena arising during the propagation of laser radiation in quantum-size semiconductor structures, and the study of self-organizing quantum dots and strained quantum wells using low-temperature photoluminescence and laser spectroscopy. Fizouli Faradjev is one of the pioneers of nanophotonics. In particular, he was the first to observe the extremely narrow photoluminescence of quantum dots (QDs) at a wavelength of 1200 nm, which is in the O-band of telecommunications and has potential for medical imaging and other advanced applications. It was shown that the photoluminescence spectra clearly follow the change in the size distribution of dots grown in the As/P exchange reaction on InP with different surface morphologies. F.E. Faradjev's work is supported and funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), which funds research in the fields of natural sciences, technology, and medicine. In 2025, he was elected as a Correspondent Member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. 

F.E Faradjev has recently been awarded the honorary title "Honored scientist and educator" for developing priority scientific areas, establishing schools, and his contributions to STEM education.
