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.
