Dmitri Golberg

Dmitri Golberg is a Distinguished Professor of Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia, Head of QUT “Inorganic Nanomaterials” Laboratory within the Faculty of Science, a Co-Director of the QUT Centre for Materials Science, an Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellow, and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. After getting PhD and ten years research career at a Research Institute in Moscow, Russia, in 1995 he joined the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan. He moved to QUT in 2017 after more than 20 years of Nanotube Group Leadership at NIMS. Dmitri is an eminent pioneer of global research in two specific fields: fabrication and structural analysis of inorganic nanomaterials with a particular emphasis on nano-boron nitride, and development and implementation of new in situ TEM techniques for analysis of electromechanical, thermal and optoelectronic properties of 1D and 2D nanostructures. He is an author of 750+ research papers which have been cited more than 75,000 times, leading to a Hirch factor of 147. Dmitri also registered 130+ Japanese, European and US patents, and delivered 150+ invited, keynote and plenary lectures during International Scientific Forums. In 2019 and 2021 Dmitri was included into top five most established materials scientists of the country by “The Australian” edition. During his career Dmitri received the Tsukuba Prize (2005), Thomson Reuters Research Front Award (2012), Seto Prize by Japan Microscopy Society (2016), NIMS President Award (2017), and a Frontier of Knowledge Award from QUT (2019).
