Albert Nasibulin


Albert Galiyevich Nasibulin is a Russian material scientist recognized for the contributions to synthesis of nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes. Presently he occupies the full professor position at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and is an adjunct professor at Aalto University. He is an author of over 250 scientific publications; his H-index is 42. He bears the title of a Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Career

Nasibulin graduated from the Chemical Department of Kemerovo State University in 1994. He earned the degrees of Candidate of chemical sciences and Doktor nauk in technical sciences.
From 1999 to 2014, he worked in Finland: until 2002 he was a senior researcher at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, and since 2003 a senior scientist, docent and adjunct professor at the Department of Applied Physics of Helsinki University of Technology. In 2006-2011, he received an Academy Fellow position from the Academy of Finland.
In 2014, Nasibulin returned to Russia and joined the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. Now he is a professor at the Center for Photonics and Quantum Materials of the Skoltech and a head of the Laboratory of Nanomaterials. Distantly, he holds an adjunct professorship status at Aalto University.

Research activities

Nasibulin specialises on synthesis of nanomaterials, investigation of their growth mechanisms and applications. He is known for the original aerosol CVD methods of the synthesis of mutli-walled and single-walled CNTs. Nasibulin developed a dry transfer technique to prepare conductive, flexible and transparent coating for ITO replacement and freestanding single-walled CNT films to fabricate the state-of-the-art key components for several high-impact application areas. He proposed a method for rapid and controlled synthesis of metal oxide nanowires.
In the field of nanotechnologies, he co-authorized more than 250 peer-reviewed papers many of which appeared in Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, ACS Nano, Nano Letters, Angewandte Chemie and other media of comparable level. Also, he got over 30 patents.
Nasibulin is a co-founder of three companies: and CryptoChemistry and Novaprint. He chaired several conferences and served as expert or reviewer for various journals and national/international scientific programs.
