Biography

[edit]

In 1952, she graduated from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, then worked as an engineer at the NASU Institute of Physics. In 1964, she defended her dissertation. From 1993 to 2010, after the death of M. T. Shpak, she headed the Department of Photoactivity of the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

H. O. Puchkivska developed a method for determining the parameters of hydrogen bonds in crystals. She participated in the creation and was the main organizer of the International School-Seminar, "Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals" (which is now named after her).[3]

The main works of H. O. Puchkivska are devoted to the problems of spectroscopy of molecules and crystals (about 300 works).

She died on September 29, 2010, and was buried in Lukianivske Cemetery next to her father.[4]
