Biography

edit

Kaisheva's father, Kroum P. Kaishev (1913-2004), was a professor in oil chemistry and former Rector of the University of Chemical Technology, Sofia.[1] Her mother, Maria D. Kaisheva (born October 1920) was a journalist.

In 1969 Kaisheva received a Master of Science degree from the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University and in 1974 she obtained a PhD from the same university's Department of Electrochemistry, under the joint supervision of Alexander N. Frumkin and Boris B. Damaskin, the authors of what is now known as the Frumkin-Damaskin theory of adsorption of molecules on electrodes. In 1975 she joined the Department of Physical Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry at Sofia University, Bulgaria as an assistant professor.[2] In 1988 she became associate professor in the same department. On 19 April 2001, she received the degree of Doctor of Sciences in Chemistry.

Career

edit

Her main research subjects was the study of the capacitance of the double layer of organic molecules of surfactants on a dropping mercury electrode and the study of thin liquid films formed by surfactants. She has over 80 publications, among which academic papers published in: Journal of Electroanalitical Chemistry, Colloid and Polymer Science, Colloids and Surfaces, Langmuir, Electrochimica Acta, J. Coll. Int. Sci., Advances in Colloid Interface Sci., J. Applied Electrochemistry, Soviet Electrochemistry, J. Dispersion Science and Technology, Plating and Surface Finishing, Colloids and Surfaces, B: Biointerfaces, STP Pharma Sciences, etc.

In 1999 she received the Abner Brenner Silver Medal and First Time Authors Award of the American Electroplaters & Surface Finishers’ Society[citation needed] for an outstanding paper published in the journal Plating and Surface Finishing.

 

Kaisheva has been a teacher in her field at Undergraduate, Master and PhD levels, as a professor at Sofia University and also as a visiting professor and scientist at the University of Franche-Comté (Besançon, France), Kyoto University, University of Sendai (Tohoku, Japan), Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven (Belgium). She taught courses in Electrochemistry, Applied Electrochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Colloid Chemistry, Properties of Surfactant Solutions. Prof Kaisheva has supervised 5 PhD students and over 20 MSc students at the Department of Physical Chemistry of Sofia University. She was also external examiner for PhD students from other foreign universities.(e.g. Alagappa University, Madurai-Kamaraj-University, Central Electrochemical Research Institute in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu – India).

In 1986 she was invited as a visiting scientist to Kyoto University, Institute for Chemical Research, Uji, Kyoto, Japan, to the Laboratory of Prof. T. Takenaka as well as to the University of Sendai (Tohoku), Research Institute for Mineral Dressing and Metallurgy, Katahira, Sendai, Japan, the Laboratory of Prof. S. Usui. In 1991-1992 she was awarded a Senior Fulbright Fellowship and worked in the Faculty of Chemistry, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA, at the Laboratory of Prof. Robert de Levie.

 

From 1995 to 1998 Kaisheva was the Bulgarian co-ordinator of a successfully completed international joint Copernicus project entitled"Improvement of the Electrolytic Synthesis of Corrosion and Wear Resistant Composite Coatings by the Controlled Use of Selected Ionic and Nonionic Surfactants", funded by the European Commission with a co-ordinator from Belgian side - Prof. dr. Ir. Jean-Pierre Celis, Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven, Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, and with the participation of partners from Polish Academy of Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland and National Technical University of Athens, Greece.

In 1999 Kaisheva was the Bulgarian co-ordinator of the international joint Inco-Copernicus project "COPELFLOW - ERBI C 15 98 01 21" on electro-floto-coagulation after the electrolytic synthesis of Ni-SiC composite coatings, funded by the European Commission with a co-ordinator from the French side - Prof. A. Foissy from the Laboratory of Electrochemistry and Microdisperse Systems at the University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France, and with the participation of partners from the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven, Belgium.[3]

In 2002 she worked at the Laboratory of Surface and Interface Engineered Materials, Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, collaborating with Dr. Jan Fransaer.

Milliana Kaisheva died on 24/03/2003 in her home city of Sofia. An "In Memoriam" article has been published for her in the journal of the Union of Scientists of Bulgaria (USB),[4] written by Prof. B. Tsarnorechki. The final scientific article of Milliana Kaisheva has been published after her death.[5]
