Ghenadii Korotcenkov earned his PhD in material sciences from the Technical University of Moldova, Chisinau, Moldova in 1976 and his doctor of science degree (doctor habilitate) in physics from the Academy of Science of Moldova in 1990 (Highest Qualification Committee of the USSR, Moscow). He has more than 45 years of experience as a scientific researcher. For a long time, he was the leader of the gas sensor group and manager of various national and international scientific and engineering projects carried out in the Laboratory of Micro- and Optoelectronics, Technical University of Moldova. His research had financial support from international foundations and programs such as the CRDF, the MRDA, the ICTP, the INTAS, the INCO-COPERNICUS, the COST, and the NATO. From 2007 to 2008, he was an invited scientist in the Korea Institute of Energy Research, Daejeon, South Korea. After which, until the end of 2017 G. Korotcenkov was a research professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Gwangju, South Korea. Currently, G. Korotcenkov is the chief scientific researcher at the Department of Physics and Engineering at the Moldova State University, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. Specialists from the former Soviet Union know G. Korotcenkov’s research results in the field of study of Schottky barriers, MOS structures, native oxides, and photoreceivers on the basis of III–Vs compounds such as InP, GaP, AlGaAs, and InGaAs. His present scientific interests starting from 1995 include material sciences, focusing on the metal oxide film deposition and characterization, surface science, and the design of thin film gas sensors and thermoelectric converters. These studies were carried out in cooperation with scientific teams from Ioffe Institute (St. Petersburg, Russia), University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, USA), Kiev State University (Kiev, Ukraine), Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic), St. Petersburg State University (St. Petersburg, Russia), Illinois Institute of Technology (Chicago, USA), University of Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain), Moscow State University (Moscow, Russia), University of Brescia (Brescia, Italy), Belarus State University (Minsk, Belarus), and South-Ukrainian University (Odessa, Ukraine). G. Korotcenkov is the author or editor of 38 books, including the 11-volume Chemical Sensors series published by the Momentum Press (USA), 15-volume Chemical Sensors series published by Harbin Institute of Technology Press (China), 3-volume Porous Silicon: From Formation to Application published by CRC Press (USA), ­2-volume Handbook of Gas Sensor Materials published by Springer (USA), and 3-volume Handbook of Humidity Measurement, which is being published by CRC Press (USA). In addition, at present, G. Korotcenkov is a

series’ editor of Metal Oxides series, which is published by Elsevier. Starting from 2017, already more than 10 volumes have been published within the framework of that series. G. Korotcenkov is author and coauthor of more than 600 scientific publications, including 25 review papers, 38 book chapters, and more than 250 articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals (h-factor = 41 [Scopus] and h-factor = 47 [Google Scholar citation]). In the majority of publications, he is the first author. G. Korotchenkov is a holder of 17 patents. He has presented more than 200 reports at the national and international conferences, including 17 invited talks. G. Korotcenkov was a coorganizer of several international conferences. His name and activities have been listed by many biographical publications, including Who’s Who. His research activities are honored by an Award of the Supreme Council of Science and Advanced Technology of the Republic of Moldova (2004); Prize of the Presidents of the Ukrainian, Belarus, and Moldovan Academies of Sciences (2003); and National Youth Prize of the Republic of Moldova in the field of science and technology (1980), among others. G. Korotcenkov also received a fellowship from the International Research Exchange Board (IREX, United States, 1998), Brain Korea 21 Program (2008–2012), and Brainpool Program (Korea, 2007–2008 and 2015–2017).
