Lebedev Vasily Timofeevich, head of laboratory at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI), NRC “Kurchatov Institute”, graduated as Dr. of Phys.-Math. Science in polymer physics (2007), and earlier received engineering degree (Gorky State University, 1973) and Ph.Dr. in experimental physics (1986). Engineer at Radio-physical Institute (1973-1975), post graduate student (1976-1978), senior and leading scientist, head of physicochemical laboratory at PNPI (1979-2022). Main interests are focused on physics of polymers and nanostructures (fullerenes, detonation diamonds), molecular complexes with photosensitizers and nanoparticles for biophysics by neutron and synchrotron radiation scattering, X-ray excited luminescence. Other fields of activity are related to magnetic systems (ferrofluids, ferroelastomers), surfactants analyzed by polarized neutrons and hydrodynamic methods. Current interests concern water-soluble forms of fullerenes (endofullerenes), hydrogels, suspensions of nanodiamonds and graphenes, polymer proton-conducting membranes, metal-carbon nanostructures. Awards: Kurchatov Prize (2015); Aleksandrov Prize (2015).
