Scientific research in the field of physical chemistry, nanotechnology and scanning probe microscopy. Performed studies of the structures and properties of polymer catalysts, X-ray diffraction processes in crystalline organic compounds, the long fine structure of the X-ray absorption spectrum (EXAFS) by conductive polymers; in the field of molecular mechanics. He is one of the founders of the work in the field of scanning probe microscopy. Contributed greatly to the development of scanning tunneling microscopy, both nationally and internationally.

Author of more than 350 scientific papers, including 12 monographs.

Awarded with the UNESCO Medal "For the Contribution to the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology" (2010).
