Albert Nasibulin

Albert Galiyevich Nasibulin (russian: Альбе́рт Гали́йевич Насибу́лин, born 23 March 1972 in Novokuznetsk city, Kemerovo Region, USSR) 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 (Moscow, Russia). He is an author of over 350 scientific publications; his H-index is 61 (as of February 2023). He bears the title of a Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A leading academic platform Research.com included Nasibulin among the top material science researchers (#3161 in global ranking, #4 in national).

Career

Nasibulin graduated from the Chemical Department of Kemerovo State University (KemSU, Russia) in 1994. He earned the degrees of Candidate of chemical sciences (1996, KemSU) and Doktor nauk in technical sciences (2011, St.-Petersburg State Technical University, Russia).Personal profile

In 2014, Nasibulin returned to Russia and joined the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech). Now he is a professor at the Center for Photonic Science and Engineering of the Skoltech and a head of the Laboratory of Nanomaterials. Until 2022, he held an adjunct professorship at Aalto University.

Research activities

Nasibulin specialises on synthesis of nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles and nanowires), investigation of their growth mechanisms and applications. He is known for the original aerosol CVD methods of the synthesis of multi-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 300 peer-reviewed papersThe full list of publications of Prof. Nasibulin can be found in th
