V. Mitin is an author of more than 430 professional publications, including 10 patents, more than 180 publications in refereed journals, and more than 220 presentations at conferences and publications in conference proceedings. 

He is a coauthor of three textbooks and four monographs. He also published two review papers. 

Currently he is working in the following areas: optoelectronic and microelectronic devices and materials; heat dissipation in devices; hot electron transport, light absorption and emission in inhomogeneous materials, heterostructures, and nanostructures; numerical modeling and Carlo simulation of multi-terminal lasers, thyristors and lasers based on wide band gap semiconductors, high frequency generators, and infrared photodetectors.

As a result of his research activity Dr. Mitin has supervised on average ten researchers each semester since 1992 (visitors, postdocs, Ph.D. and MS students). He graduated twelve Ph.D students and four Master students at WSU.

Developed and taught during the Spring 2005 semester a new course EE 240 “Nanotechnology, Engineering and Science”, for the second year undergraduate students at UB. The course development is supported by NSF program on Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education. Updated and taught during Spring 2004 semester a course EE 538 “Quantum Heterostructures and Devices” for graduate students at UB. Updated and taught all graduate courses in Solid State Electronics at Wayne State University. The course “Solid State Electronics II” was developed to the stage of a textbook "Introduction to Solid State Electronics" which was published by the Addison-Wesley Publishing Company in August 1996. The course “Advanced Solid State Electronics I” was completed as a textbook "Quantum Heterstructures: Microelectronics and Optoelectronics" that was published by Cambridge University Press in 1999. There is a request from the Cambridge University Press for updating our book for the second edition. Introduced and taught new graduate course – “Computational Electronics”. New course in Electronic and Photonic Materials was developed under the support of NSF and a course pack was prepared. Taught undergraduate course “Electromagnetic Fields and Waves”. By a team of three professors a new course “Mathematical Methods in Engineering” was developed and a textbook “Modern Advanced Mathematics for Engineers” was published by John Wiley & Sons in March, 2001.

V. Mitin delivered more than seventy invited seminars and talks.
