Mr. Alexander Stolin | Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Merzhanov Institute of Structural Macrokinetics and Materials Science Russian Academy of Sciences (ISMAN) | Russia

Stolin Alexander Moiseevich is a distinguished materials scientist with a PhD and Doctor of Sciences degree, known for his pioneering contributions in the fields of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), rheology, powder metallurgy, and solid-phase technologies. A graduate of Rostov State University, he began his scientific career at the Institute of Chemical Physics before joining ISMAN, where he has led the Laboratory of Plastic Deformation of Inorganic Materials since 1988. With over 500 scientific publications, 50 patents and copyright certificates, and an h-index of 21, his work has significantly advanced the understanding of viscous flow in reacting systems and high-temperature materials processing. He has mentored 21 PhD students and 2 doctoral candidates and is actively involved in multiple editorial boards and scientific committees. He is a key figure in academic-industry collaborations, notably with United Company Rusal. His accolades include the title of Honored Inventor of the USSR, the G.V. Vinogradov Prize, the Gold Medal at the Moscow Salon of Innovations, and the Honored Scientist of the Moscow Region title. His research continues to shape advanced material development and education in Russia and internationally, with a strong commitment to mentoring and scientific leadership. His citation count exceeds 1000, supported by verified documents and indexed publications.

Dr. Larisa Mezentseva | Real-world Case Studies | Best Scholar Award

National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute | Russia

Dr. Larisa P. Mezentseva is a distinguished materials chemist and Leading Researcher at the I.V. Grebenshchikov Institute of Silicate Chemistry (Branch of NRC “Kurchatov Institute,” Russia), with over five decades of expertise in inorganic and materials chemistry. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Institute of Silicate Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, focusing on the phase diagrams of lanthanide–phosphate systems. Her research primarily centers on the synthesis, crystal chemistry, and functional properties of rare-earth phosphates, aluminates, and nanostructured oxide ceramics. She has made significant contributions to sol-gel synthesis methods, phase equilibria studies, and the development of advanced ceramic materials for high-temperature and nuclear applications. Dr. Mezentseva has published more than 49 scientific papers, accumulated over 522 citations, and holds an h-index of 13 (Scopus). Her work has appeared in leading international journals such as Glass Physics and Chemistry, Journal of Nuclear Materials, and Russian Journal of Inorganic Chemistry. She has also contributed to patents and collaborative projects advancing the design and application of functional oxide materials. Through her extensive scientific output and mentorship, Dr. Mezentseva has played a vital role in strengthening global understanding of rare-earth ceramics and functional materials.
