Overall area of interest and expertise: physics/quantum electronics, science journalism. More specifically: graphene, nanofabrication.

Fluent in: English, Russian, Spanish

COI dislaimer: I work for Heidelberg Instruments and SwissLitho. The former company makes tools for maskless photolithography, and the latter - for thermal scanning probe nanollithography, also referred to as a Probe-tip. Neither company has a dedicated Wikipedia page, and both methods' pages are not quite up to date, which I would like to help fixing, for completeness' sake.

As a physicist and science journalist, I believe in the power of education and sharing knowledge. I think this is closely aligned with the spirit of Wikipedia, and I want to contribute to the community. That being said, I understand that my affiliation puts me in a compromised position as my immediate areas of expertise are concerned. I respect how Wikipedia community views input from commercial companies. Therefore, I will greatly appreciate help of fellow editors in drawing the line of what belongs here and what does not.

I am dedicated to comply with the spirit of neutrality and referring to independent sources because I understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a marketing tool.

Also, I'm still on a learning curve here, so I appreciate your patience.

Apropos my nickname: "Sometimes," Professor Quirrell said in a voice so quiet it almost wasn't there, "when this flawed world seems unusually hateful, I wonder whether there might be some other place, far away, where I should have been. I cannot seem to imagine what that place might be, and if I can't even imagine it then how can I believe it exists? And yet the universe is so very, very wide, and perhaps it might exist anyway? But the stars are so very, very far away. It would take a long, long time to get there, even if I knew the way. And I wonder what I would dream about, if I slept for a long, long time..."
