Natalia Dubrovinskaia (born 18 February 1961) is a Swedish geologist of Russian origin.

Education

Dubrovinskaia earned a Master of Science degree in geochemistry and a PhD in crystallography and crystal physics from Moscow State University.[1]

Career

Dubrovinskaia was a research fellow at the Ministry of Geology and a post-doctoral researcher at Uppsala University.

In 2005, Dubrovinskaia led a team of researchers from the University of Bayreuth who were reported to have produced aggregated diamond nanorods from fullerene under high temperatures and pressures.[2][3][4] Two years earlier, large samples of nanodiamond were produced in a cheaper way (from graphite) and discovered to be harder than diamond by Japanese researchers.[5] Dubrovinskaia works at the Heidelberg University in Germany as a Privatdozent and senior scientist.

Personal life

Dubrovinskaia is married to Leonid Dubrovinsky, a geoscientist at University of Bayreuth.[6]
