Profile Summary

Dr. Irakli Chaganava graduated with his complete higher education at Georgian Technical University with honors as an organic chemist. Further, he obtained a distinction for his Ph.D. at the same university. Both diplomas are devoted to studying, developing, and synthesizing new polarization-sensitive materials. For 20 years, he has been conducting scientific research at the Laboratory of Polarization-Holographic Studies of the Institute of Cybernetics of the Georgian Technical University nowadays as a chief researcher. He is also an associate professor at the Georgian State Teaching University of Physical Education and Sport as a medical and biological chemistry lecturer. In 2010, he found a light-induced effect known as vector polyphotochromism. Chaganava is the author of 47 research papers. His scientific interests are mainly in chemical physics and photonics: functional azocompounds, photoanisotropy, mechanism of the Weigert effect, light manipulating, and light-adjustable polarization-sensitive organic materials.
