Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov (Russian: Константи́н Серге́евич Новосёлов; born 23 August 1974) is a Russo-British physicist, most notably known for his works on graphene together with Andre Geim, which earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.[1] Novoselov is currently a member of the mesoscopic physics research group at the University of Manchester as a Royal Society University Research Fellow.[2][3] Novoselov is also a recipient of an ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council.[4]

Early life

Konstantin Novoselov was born in Nizhny Tagil, Soviet Union, in 1974 in a Russian family.[5] He received a Diploma from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and undertook his PhD 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.[6]

Career

Novoselov has published more than 60 peer-reviewed research papers, on topics like mesoscopic superconductivity (Hall magnetometry),[7] sub-atomic movements of magnetic domain walls,[8] the invention of gecko tape,[9] and graphene.[10]
