ENG: Siarhei Besarab {@stean or @steanlab} — BEL: Сяргей Бесараб {BE:WIKIPEDIA} — RUS: Сергей Бесараб

Hey there everyone! My name is Siarhei, and I’m an independent belarusian scientist and certified researcher in Surface and Interface Chemistry. Additionally, I’m also a science communicator, journalist, and writer for HABR/MEDIUM. My scientific interests are broad and transdisciplinary, and also I’m passionate about promoting Citizen Science. This tiny website is meant to establish online presence in a more simple (more «traditionally scientific») way than what trendy social media want to offer.

My research interests include:

  • Colloid science: adsorbents — catalysts and their supports — nanomaterials and hybrid composites — porous and fibrous aerosol filtering materials
  • Industrial toxicology: heavy metals decontamination — plastics degradation
  • Public safety: radiation defence — antidotes — non-ionizing radiation — EM absorbers — personal protective equipment (PPE) — Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE)
  • Green and Phytochemistry: ethnobotany bioinsecticides/biorepellents
  • FoodTech: novel/alternative food sources — food safety
  • Medical electronics: wearable devices — medical sensors — Point-of-Care
