Dr. Egor Evlyukhin is an experimental scientist specializing in high-pressure physics and X-ray-induced photochemistry. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics with summa cum laude at Sorbonne Paris North University, where he developed innovative high-pressure methods for polymerization and organic-inorganic hybrid synthesis. With over a decade of experience in advanced materials research, he has focused on investigating the fundamental mechanisms by which X-rays trigger complex transformations in solid-state materials under extreme conditions. Dr. Evlyukhin has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and the State University of New York at Binghamton, leading to his appointment as an assistant research professor at UNLV before joining IESL-FORTH in Greece as a research associate in August 2024. Throughout his career, he has been an active user at major synchrotron facilities, including the Advanced Photon Source, the Advanced Light Source, the Canadian Light Source, and Elettra, and has had the opportunity to work at prestigious institutions such as Caltech and Cornell University. Having successfully led 19 scientific projects and mentored numerous graduate and undergraduate students, he is currently leading a research initiative at IESL-FORTH dedicated to investigating light-matter interactions under extreme conditions. His work includes extensive hands-on experience with diamond anvil cells, large-volume presses, laser-driven processes, and synchrotron-based spectroscopies.
