PhD thesis on molecules’ fingerprints defended in Russia and France

An early-career scientist from Tomsk Polytechnic University Kirill Berezkin defended his PhD thesis in accordance with the requirements of two countries – Russia and France. The thesis was devoted to the study of spectra that are literally fingerprints of one of the modifications of ethylene. This data will enable researchers to detect these molecules both in the atmosphere of the Earth, where they get due to industrial emissions, and other planets and space objects. The defense was held last week in Tomsk, on this purpose scientists from France arrived in Russia.
