Alexey Fedorov
Research Team Leader, RQC.
#Yuri Ts. Oganessian
The greatest Russian scientist today, he has discovered 10 elements in the Periodic Table. One element (oganesson) is named after him. A wonderful human being and a legend around the world.
Alexey Fedorov
A brilliant physicist, a rising star in the field of quantum physics. He is working alongside Artem R. Oganov on the Vyzov Prize.
Ho-Kwang Mao
A truly great scientist, he has revolutionized high-pressure research. Born in China, he made a phenomenal career in the US and then returned to China
Ayan Datta
Ayan is a theoretical chemist with a talent for clarity and insight.
Xiang-Feng Zhou
He was once a postdoc in Artem's group, now a Full Professor in China. He always liked to solve difficult problems.
Hanyu Liu
One of the top people from Yanming Ma's school.
Yan Li
Yan is a mineral chemist, working on solving exciting and infinitely complex problems (such as the origin of life) with incredible elegance.
Ke Chen
Ke is one of the drivers of The Innovation -a very exciting top-level journal that was born in China just a few years ago out of pure enthusiasm of young scientists and... had reached impact factor of >33!
Igor V. Pekov
Igor is one of world's top mineralogists. He has discovered >200 new minerals, but what's more, he uses these discoveries together with his deep chemical knowledge to decipher mineral-forming processes. He was Artem's older friend from childhood and has ever since been an example of a great scientist.
Artem Abakumov
A unique combination of a refined crystallographer and a scientist working on developing industrial technologies. He has developed Russian technology of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries.
Jian Lv
One of the brilliant examples of Yanming Ma's school.
Congwei Xie
Once Artem's PhD student, now he is a young Full Professor. His current research focuses on nonlinear optical materials.
Ivan Kruglov
Ivan was a PhD student in Artem's first lab in Russia (at MIPT) - and now he heads that laboratory, producing great science.
Alexander Shapeev
A mathematician-become-materials scientist, he has revolutionized the field of machine learning interatomic potentials and continues leading this field.
Jian Sun
Well known computational physicist, Jian worked at Cambridge and is now a Full Professor at Nanjing University (a tier I university in China and in the world). Thanks to his connection with Artem, a Joint Center for Collaborative STEM Research was created between Skoltech and Nanjing University.
Michele Parrinello
Michele is one of the fathers of computational materials science whose works have revolutionized science. We all use his methods. And he is an amazing human being.
Haiyang Niu
Haiyang was a visiting student in Artem's lab, then Artem's postdoc, then postdoc with Michele Parinello. Now he heads laboratory that was created by Artem in China and trains new brilliant scientists. He is also a wonderful lecturer.
Xiao Dong
A true thinker and creative mind, once a visiting PhD student in Artem's lab, now a Full Professor.
Zhong Xin
A rising star from Yanming Ma's school
Dmitrii Semenok
Very recently he was a PhD student and postdoc in Artem's lab, and now he is one of the leaders in high-temperature superconductivity, doing both experiments and theory.
Yanming Ma
Once a postdoc in Artem's group, he has become a young Chinese Academician and one of the most influential Chinese and international scientists in computational physics and materials science.
Yu Xie
He was a visiting PhD student in Artem's lab (jointly supervised with Yanming Ma). One of the brightest representatives of both Oganov's and Ma's schools, he now leads the development of a new quantum-mechanical code.
Linh Nguyen Ngoc
Linh worked in Italy and then returned to Vietnam, doing great work in computational physics and helping his country to build strong science.
Ying Sun
A bright example of Yanming Ma's school.
Xuecheng Shao
Xuecheng works in orbital-free density functional theory, which allows huge-scale simulations. Maybe one day this will overtake traditional simulations, so watch this space.
