His father, Nusrat Yusif oglu Khalilov, a doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences, professor, honored geologist of Azerbaijan, and President’s pension recipient. His mother, Rena Huseyn gizi Khalilova, is a teaching physician at the Azerbaijan Pedagogical University.[1] His grandfather, professor Huseinbey Agabeyov M.D. who fought in World War II and was awarded with numerous state orders and medals, was a scientist in gynecology and head of the gynecology department of the Azerbaijan Medical University.

She is mentioned in the book “Prominent Women of Azerbaijan” (2003 edition). She directs the “Zeoline” international program on application of natural minerals of zeolites in medicine and cosmetology. In 2011, Tamila Khalilova was elected Co-Chairperson of the International Organization “Zeolite: Health and Ecology” (Munich, Germany).

Education

Elchin Khalilov showed a great interest in knowledge and science as early as from his childhood. He graduated from the M. Azizbekov Azerbaijan Oil and Chemistry Institute (now the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy) in 1981 with a degree in geophysics. While in school, he had five scientific works published in collections for young scientists. After the graduation he entered a postgraduate school and from 1981 to 1984 he was a postgraduate student at the I.M.Gubkin Institute of Geology of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences.[6]

In 1984 E.Khaliov defended his Ph.D. thesis in geotectonics. In the same year, he was presented with the highest award for young Azerbaijani scientists – Lenin Komsomol Prize of Azerbaijan in Science and Technology as recognition of his scientific achievements. In 1990 he defended his doctoral thesis at the Lomonosov Moscow State University on studying and prediction of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and was awarded the highest academic degree, which is Doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences.[7]

Working and academic career

Khalilov’s work and scientific activities have been widely covered in international news magazines and encyclopedias, numerous publications in many countries worldwide, including the website of NATO International Program of which E.Khalilov, along with representatives of Turkey and Kazakhstan, is a co-director.[8]

Awards and achievements

In 1984, Khalilov was awarded the title “Azerbaijan Lenin Komsomol Prize Laureate in science and technology” (the highest award for young Azerbaijani scientists) for his researches in the field of geodynamics and geotectonics.[21] E. Khalilov has been presented with a diploma for the first officially confirmed scientific discovery in the history of Azerbaijan under the name "The regularity of the spatial-temporal distribution of volcanic eruptions" with the priority date of September 20, 1983, which was entered into the international register of discoveries. The discovery was made by E.Khalilov in co-authorship with Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences academician S. F. Mehdiyev, USSR AS and RAS academician V.E Khain, and RANS academician T.A.
