Halyna Oleksandrivna Puchkivska (June 22, 1934, Kyiv - September 29, 2010, Kyiv) was a Soviet and Ukrainian physicist, a professor of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (since 1989), a Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine (2004), a pupil of the famous physicist Antonina Prikhot'ko, a daughter of O.M. Puchkivsky (from the second marriage),[1] and a younger sister of Nadiya Puchkivska.[2]
Biography
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).
