About the Faculty Member
Viktor Iaroshenko received his doctorate from the Faculty of Chemistry at the National Taras Shevchenko University in Kiev, Ukraine, in 2009. He is currently an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. Viktor Iaroshenko is a regular visiting scientist at international research institutions. For instance, 2025 He was Visiting Professor at TU-Viena and 2025-2026 at University of Bern. His main research interests are: Green chemistry, catalysis, supramolecular catalysis, heterocyclic chemistry, organoelement chemistry, fluorine chemistry, organometallic chemistry, transition metal chemistry and functionalization of C-H and C-F bonds. Viktor Iaroshenko has coauthored over 120 scientific publications.
