Alexander Kachynski, PhD

Dr. Kachynski holds a Ph.D. degree in laser physics from the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (IPNASB), Minsk, Belarus (1984).

After holding position of a Senior Scientist at the IPBAS, he became a Deputy Director of a Belarussian-Japanese JV "SOLAR TII" where for 10 years he led the development of commercial solid state lasers, tunable lasers and opto-electronics devices.

In 2001 he joined the faculty of the Institute for Lasers,Photonics and Biophotonics (ILPB) at University at Buffalo, SUNY.

Dr. Kachynski has a wide expertise in optics, spectroscopy, laser physics and non-linear optics. He is actively involved in the research and development of the solid state lasers (Nd:YAG, Nd:Glass, Nd:GSGG, Cr:Al2O3 and others), including mode-locked laser, tunable lasers (Ti:Sapphire, LiF:F2 - color center, Cr:Forsterite), non-linear converters harmonics generators, OPOs, solid state Raman Shifters.

During last seven years his work has been focused on the lasers-scanning microscopy, imaging technologies for medical and biological applications. He has been also developing research tools such as Laser Tweezers and Micomanipulator, Micro-Raman Spectrometer; fiber-optics based Flow Cytometers, Fluorescence Confocal and nonlinear-optical Microscopy, Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) Microscopy, Micron Size Resolution Thermal Imaging, etc.

Dr. Kachynski published more than hundred scientific papers and has three pending USA patents.
