Since 2010, Professor, Stony Brook University. Since 2015, Professor, Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and Professor, Russian Academy of Sciences. Research focuses on computational materials discovery, study of matter at high pressures, and development of novel computational methodologies for predicting the structure and properties of materials. Developed the unique evolutionary method for crystal structure prediction, which is currently used by over 3,900 researchers worldwide. This method allows prediction of novel materials, both organic and inorganic, with desired properties, and has produced many breakthroughs, both in fundamental and applied research. Recipient of honours and awards, including: Mega-grant, Russian Government (2013); 1000 Talents Professor of China (2013); Russian Highly Cited Researcher award, Clarivate Analytics (2016); Fellow, American Mineralogical Association (2013); Research Excellence Medal, European Mineralogical Union (2007); University Latsis Prize (2006); listed among 100 most influential Russians today, Russian Reporter magazine.
