Low-dimensional and Nanomaterials

Chair

Andrey Ragulya

Dr.Sc., Prof. Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science, NAS of Ukraine
President of Frantsevich Ukrainian Materials Research Society

Prof. Andrey Ragulya is full member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and full member of the International Institute for the Science of Sintering. Prof. A. Ragulya received his Ph.D. (1993) and D.Sc. (2001) degrees from the Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science, NAS of Ukraine. Since 1985 he has been working at Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science, NAS of Ukraine in the field of nanomaterials and sintering technology. At the beginning of 90th Andrey Ragulya proposed the theoretical basis for Rate Controlled Sintering Process (RCSP), which previously had been experimentally considered by Prof. H. Palmour.

Andrey Ragulya put forward a new ideology of so-called rate-controlled thermally activated processes, which has been confirmed experimentally for numerous technological processes, in particular, synthesis of nanosized particles of ceramic and metallic materials. In 2015 he was awarded with the State Prize of Ukraine for these efforts. Since 2002 he has been in the position of Deputy Director of the Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science and the Leader of the research team dealing with the development and characterization of nanosized particles, nanostructured ceramics & ceramic composites. He is an author of 6 books and 1 textbook in the area of nanomaterials, more than 270 papers and 16 patents.
