Sir Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov,[6] FRS, HonFRSC, HonFInstP (born 23 August 1974)[1] is a Russian-British physicist, and Langworthy Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. His work on graphene with Andre Geim, earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Education
Konstantin Novoselov was born in Nizhny Tagil, Soviet Union, in 1974.[14] He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a MSc degree in 1997,[1] and was awarded a PhD from the Radboud University of Nijmegen in 2004[3] for work supervised by Andre Geim.
Career
Konstantin Novoselov in his lab
Novoselov has published more than 200[15] peer-reviewed research papers on several topics including mesoscopic superconductivity (Hall magnetometry),[16] subatomic movements of magnetic domain walls,[17] the discovery of gecko tape[18] and graphene.[19][20],[21]
Kostya Novoselov participated in the Graphene Flagship project[22] – a €1 billion initiative of the European Commission – and was featured in the official promotion movie of the project.[23]
Novoselov is a director of the National Graphene Institute.[24][25][26][27]
Novoselov is also a recipient of a starting grant[28] from the European Research Council.[29]
Kostya Novoselov made it into a shortlist of scientists with multiple hot papers for the years 2007–2008 (shared second place with 13 hot papers)[30] and 2009 (5th place with 12 hot papers).[31]
In 2014 Kostya Novoselov was included in the list of the most highly cited researchers. He was also named among the 17 hottest researchers world-wide—"individuals who have published the greatest number of hot papers during 2012–2013".[32]
