Dr. Evgeny Filatov, PhD (RAS), is a Senior Researcher at the Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and an Assistant Professor at Novosibirsk State University. His expertise lies in thermal properties, crystallization and characterization of materials using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. He focuses on the synthesis and crystal structure of double complex salts of transition metals (primarily platinum group metals) and their thermal decomposition to form bimetallic nanoalloys and metal-oxide catalysts for CO preferential oxidation and propane pre-reforming. He has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed papers.
