Early life [edit]
Konstantin Novoselov was born in Nizhny Tagil, Soviet Union, in 1974 in a Russian family.[7] He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and undertook his Ph.D. studies at the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands before moving to the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom with his doctoral advisor Andre Geim in 2001. He now holds both Russian and British citizenship.[8] He is married and has two daughters.
Career [edit]
Together with Geim, Novoselov has published more than 90 peer-reviewed research papers on several topics including mesoscopic superconductivity (Hall magnetometry),[9] subatomic movements of magnetic domain walls,[10] the discovery of gecko tape[11] and graphene.[12]
In 2008, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR35 as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[13]
Kostya Novoselov participated in the Graphene Flagship project[14] – a €1 billion initiative of the European Comission – and was featured in the official promotion movie of the project.[15]
He is a director of National Graphene Institute, which is being built in Manchester with the £38M investment from the British government.[16]
