Prof. Sergei L. Votyakov is an Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Principal Research Fellow at the Zavaritsky Institute of Geology and Geochemistry and Head of the Geoanalytic Center for Collective Use, Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg. He is one of the leading Russian experts in the field of mineral physics and materials science of natural substances. S. Votyakov has published more than 500 works, including 8 monographs. His works have made a significant contribution to the formation and development of Mineral Physics - a new direction in the Earth sciences - and to the solution of the fundamental mineralogical problem, as well as the analysis of the phenomenon of defect formation at micro- and nanoscale levels in minerals,forming a basis for the reconstruction of the conditions of crystallisation and evolution in particulargeological (bioecological) situations.Prof.Votyakov has managed 15 national research projects aimed at studying the spectroscopy of minerals and holds 4 patents. He is the Chairman of the Russian Mineralogical Society's commission for mineral spectroscopy and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Lithosphere.
