Sir Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov FRS FRSC FInstP[7][6] (born 23 August 1974)[1] is a Russian-British physicist, and Langworthy Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. His work on graphene with Andre Geim earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.[6][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Education

Konstantin Novoselov was born in Nizhny Tagil, Soviet Union, in 1974.[14] He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a MSc degree in 1997,[1] and was awarded a PhD from the Radboud University of Nijmegen in 2004[3] for work supervised by Andre Geim.

Career

Konstantin Novoselov in his lab

Novoselov has published more than 200[15] peer-reviewed research papers on several topics including mesoscopic superconductivity (Hall magnetometry),[16] subatomic movements of magnetic domain walls,[17] the discovery of gecko tape[18] and graphene.[19][20],[21]

Kostya Novoselov participated in the Graphene Flagship project[22] – a €1 billion initiative of the European Commission – and was featured in the official promotion movie of the project.[23]

Novoselov is one of Directors of the National Graphene Institute.[24][25][26][27]

Novoselov is also a recipient of a starting grant[28] from the European Research Council.[29]

Kostya Novoselov made it into a shortlist of scientists with multiple hot papers for the years 2007–2008 (shared second place with 13 hot papers)[30] and 2009 (5th place with 12 hot papers).[31]

In 2014 Kostya Novoselov was included in the list of the most highly cited researchers. He was also named among the 17 hottest researchers world-wide—"individuals who have published the greatest number of hot papers during 2012–2013".[32]

Awards and honours

His certificate of election to the Royal Society in 2011 reads

“ Kostya Novoselov's research interests cover a wide range of topics from mesoscopic superconductivity and ferromagnetism to materials science and biophysics. He studied vortex structures in mesoscopic superconductors, observed atomic-scale movements of ferromagnetic walls, monitored heartbeats of individual bacteria and mimicked gecko's adhesion mechanism. His breakthrough moment was the discovery of graphene. Novoselov is now widely recognised to be one of the pioneers in this field (as a number of international awards prove) and, together with Prof Geim FRS, leads research on various applications of this new material ranging from electronics, photonics, composite materials, chemistry, etc. Prof. Novoselov is strongly committed to disseminating science through public lectures and media interviews.[6] ”

Personal life

Novoselov holds both Russian and British citizenship.[51] He is married and has two daughters.[1] He is an agnostic.[52]
