Professor Konstantin Novoselov is a world-renowned physicist who won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. He is widely recognized as a pioneer in graphene research, a material often referred to as the "miracle nanomaterial." Graphene is an ultra-thin material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms, offering exceptional properties?it is stronger than steel, yet lightweight, flexible, and highly conductive.

Born in Russia and majoring in physics, Professor Novoselov conducted research at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Alongside Professor Andre Geim, he successfully isolated graphene for the first time using simple Scotch tape, a groundbreaking experiment that revolutionized multiple industries, including next-generation electronics, energy storage, and medical technology. In recognition of this achievement, he was jointly awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics with Andre Geim at the age of 36, making him the youngest Nobel laureate in physics since Brian Josephson in 1973. Graphene’s unique quantum properties have allowed his research to greatly advance quantum electronics and nanotechnology. More recently, his work has expanded beyond graphene, focusing on quantum phenomena in various 2D materials, developing quantum simulation platforms, and exploring new quantum states through moire patterns.

Currently, he serves as a professor of physics and materials science at the National University of Singapore (NUS), focusing on advanced materials research and nanotechnology development. Beyond scientific discovery, he is actively driving innovation and practical applications of future technologies, collaborating with companies and research institutions to explore the real-world potential of novel materials.
