Infos

This book comprises papers resulting from the 1st International workshop 'Minerals as Advanced Materials I'. It is intended as an exchange of ideas between mineralogists and material scientists. The aim is to identify minerals and mineral objects that have or potentially have unique physical, chemical and structural properties that are of interest from the viewpoint of applied mineralogy and material science. The author studied Crystallography at the St.Petersburg State University.

Sergey V. Krivovichev is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Crystallography, Faculty of Geology, St.Petersburg State University. He has co-authored two books and more than 200 scientific papers in the fields of mineralogy, crystallography and structural chemistry. He has been awarded the Medal for Scientific Excellence by the European Mineralogical Union (2002), Alexander von Humboldt and Lise Meitner Research fellowships, and a number of Russian national distinctions. His activities include services as Associate Editor for leading mineralogical journals such as Canadian Mineralogist, American Mineralogist and Russian Mineralogist (Zapiski RMO).
