Shamil Shaikhutdinov Author

Shamil Shaikhutdinov received his PhD in physics in 1986 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology for the study of microwave dielectric properties of inorganic materials. Then he joined the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis at Novosibirsk to carry out “surface science” studies of catalytic systems, in particular with scanning tunneling microscopy. Since 2004, he is leading the “Structure and Reactivity” group at the Fritz-Haber Institute at Berlin. His research interests focus on the fundamental understanding of atomic structures and surface chemistry of functional materials based on ultrathin films.
