Konstantin Novoselov
Kostya Novoselov is a Royal Society Research Fellow at the University of Manchester in their Mesoscopic Research Group researching mesoscopic systems and nanostructures.[1][2]
He is notablity is evident in his having published over 60 peer-refereed research papers, including some in Nature and Science , Nature Materials, Nature Physics, Nature Nanotechnology, Reviews of Modern Physics and Physical Review Letters. And for being awarded the 2008 Europhysics Prize “for discovering and isolating a single free-standing atomic layer of carbon (graphene) and elucidating its remarkable electronic properties.”[3]
Much of his work has been in collaboration with Andre Geim.
