Sargsyan Serzhik Hakob

Biography :

Serzhik Hakob Sargsyan was born in 1953 in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. 1970-1975 studied at the Chemistry Department of the Yerevan State University. 1976-1978 worked at the A.L. Mndzhoyan Institute of Fine Organic Chemistry (Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR). 1978-1981 entered and completed postgraduate studies at the Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry and defended his PhD thesis in the specialty "Electrochemistry". Since 1982, he worked at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR. He studied the processes of electrochemical polymerization of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic monomers. Sargsyan developed a unique electrochemical method for the synthesis of coordination polymers. In this case, he was the first to show that azoles undergo electrochemical reduction on transition metals in absolute organic solvents in the presence of quaternary ammonium salts. Sargsyan also developed a new method for producing spatially structured polymer coatings based on the same monomers. He found out the mechanism of the deposition process. Summing up these studies, Sargsyan defended his doctoral dissertation in 1996. Currently, he is engaged in the synthesis and study of the properties of polymer nanocomposites. Since 2004, he has been working at the Department of TE and ZOS of the Armenian State Polytechnical University. In 2008, he received the academic title of professor. In 2012, he was appointed acting head of the Department of “Thermal energy and environmental protection”, and then elected head of the department. He was the executor of the project A-948 of the Institute of Scientific Research of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, the scientific director of the projects A-1358, A-1841. He is a member of the specialized council 010 of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, as well as a member of the specialized councils 057 and 055 of the National Polytechnical University of Armenia. He is the author of 178 scientific works, including 12 original and 14 scientific-methodical manuals, including 2 textbooks. He participated in numerous international conferences, where he made reports.
