👀 We are summing up the results of the recent Matter and Materials conference, which was dedicated to the latest research and advancements in materials science, chemistry, and related fields.
The world's leading scientists gathered at the event at Skoltech: Professor Yuri Oganessian, a legendary scientist who discovered 10 elements from the periodic table. One of them, oganesson, is named after him. Professor Ho-Kwang Mao - a patriarch of high-pressure physics chemistry and Professor Michele Parrinello, a father of modern computational chemistry.
Over the two days, 23 keynote speakers spoke at the conference, including outstanding scientists: RAS and Lomonosov Moscow State University Professor Igor Pekov who contributed to discovering 284 new minerals, with him being the lead author for 156 of them, and Skoltech professor and the head of Energy Center Artem Abakumov, who became a co-laureate of the prestigious Vyzov award for researchers in the “Breakthrough” category" last year.
The poster session showcased 240 research items from PhD and other students from Russia, Belarus, China, Armenia, and other countries. The best poster awards went to Di Zhou, Daniil Poletaev, and Nikolay Chtchelkatchev.
At the closing ceremony of the conference, Skoltech Rector Alexander Kuleshov and Distinguished Professor Artem R. Oganov, who heads the Material Discovery Laboratory at Skoltech, presented Yuri Oganessian and Ho-Kwan Mao with honorary doctorates from Skoltech — they became the first recipients in the history of the institute.
