Dr. Oleh Klochan is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Science at UNSW Canberra, part of the University of New South Wales. He obtained his Specialist degree in Radiophysics, equivalent to a dual BSc and MSc, cum laude from Ivan Franko Lviv National University in Ukraine in 2000. He then completed his PhD in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics at the University of New South Wales in 2008. Over the past 18 years, Klochan has specialized in low-temperature quantum transport measurements of nanoscale semiconductor devices, designing, fabricating, and measuring mesoscopic GaAs/AlGaAs devices encompassing two-, one-, and zero-dimensional systems using both electrons and holes as charge carriers. In 2014, he was awarded the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA). From 2017 to 2023, he served as a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET). He joined UNSW Canberra as a Lecturer in 2018 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2022.
Klochan's research interests include artificially engineered electronic materials, advanced nanofabrication and patterning techniques to create two-dimensional lateral superlattices, and the exploration of emergent electronic band structures. He is a Chief Investigator on three ARC Linkage Infrastructure grants and a member of the QED research group led by Prof. Alex Hamilton. He has authored or co-authored 69 peer-reviewed journal articles, featured in high-impact journals such as Physical Review X, Nano Letters, Nature Communications, and Physical Review Letters, garnering over 1000 citations and an h-index of 22 according to Web of Science. Key publications include "Geometric Control of Universal Hydrodynamic Flow in a Two-Dimensional Electron Fluid" (Physical Review X, 2021), "Formation of Artificial Fermi Surfaces with a Triangular Superlattice on a Conventional Two-Dimensional Electron Gas" (Nano Letters, 2023), "Anisotropic Pauli Spin Blockade of Holes in a GaAs Double Quantum Dot" (Nano Letters, 2016), and "Zeeman Splitting in Ballistic Hole Quantum Wires" (Physical Review Letters, 2006). Additionally, he has presented his work at 32 national and international conferences, delivering eight invited talks, thereby influencing advancements in quantum electronics and condensed matter physics.
