Yury Georgievich Gogotsi (born December 16, 1961, Kyiv, Ukrainian SSR) is a leading Ukrainian scientist in the field of material chemistry, professor at Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA since the year 2000 in the fields of Materials Science and Engineering and Nanotechnology). Distinguished University and Trustee Chair professor of materials science at Drexel University — founder and director of the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (since 2014 - A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute).

Research Contributions

Presently, professor Y. Gogotsi leads a scientific research group that developes new nanostructured carbon materials (nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamonds,[1] carbide-derived carbon, onion-like carbon) and works on the hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanostructures[2] and ceramics. He also contributed to development of effective water desalination and capacitive deionization techniques, electrical energy storage— batteries and supercapacitors, as well as applications of carbon nanomaterials for energy[3][4][5] and biomedicine.

His pioneering work (together with P. Simon) on the relations between the structure and capacitive performance of carbon nanomaterials led to a scientific breakthrough in the field and ultimately resulted in the development of a new generation of supercapacitors that facilitate the storage and utilization of electrical energy. Prof. Yury Gogotsi produced several seminal publications (Science, 2006; Science 2010; Science 2011, etc.), with the Simon/Gogotsi review in Nature Materials published in 2008 currently being the most cited article in the electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) field.

Professor Yury Gogotsi was a part of the team that discovered a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides — MXenes[6] that show exceptional potential for energy storage and other applications. He developed a general approach to synthesis of porous and low-dimensional materials using selective extraction of elements/components, which can be used to generate carbide-derived porous carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, 2D carbides, etc.[7] He discovered and described new forms of carbon, such as conical [8] and polygonal crystals.[9] He also discovered a new metastable phase of silicon. His work on phase transformations under contact loading shaped the field of High-pressure Surface Science. He was the first to conduct hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanotubes[10] and show the anomalous slow movement of water in functionalized carbon nanotubes by in situ electron microscopy.[11] This study ultimately led to development of nanotube-tipped single-cell probes.[12]

Professor Y. Gogotsi is the co-author of two books,[13] editor of 13 books,[14][15][16] credited on more than 50 European and US patents, around 10 of which have been licensed to industry, has more than 100 publications in conference proceedings, and more than 400 articles in peer reviewed journals. Based on impact and citations of his publications, he was named to the "World's Most Influential Minds" list by Thomson Reuters.[17]

Education

1984 — Yury Gogotsi received his Masters of Science (M.S.) degree in metallurgy from the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, Department of high-temperature materials and powder metallurgy. 1986 — Received his Ph.D. Candidate of Science in Physical Chemistry (advisor - prof. V.A.Lavrenko), at that time — the youngest Ph.D. in Chemistry in Ukraine, from the Kiev Polytechnic Institute. 1995 — he received a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) degree in Materials Engineering from the National Academy of Sciences in Ukraine.
