"Biography"

Born in 1958 in Sochi, in a family of engineers of German origin (the only exception known to Geim among his German ancestors was his maternal great-great-grandmother, who was Jewish). Geim considers himself a European and believes that he does not need a more detailed "taxonomy". In 1964 the family moved to Nalchik.
Father, Konstantin Alekseevich Geim (1910-1998), since 1964 worked as chief engineer of the Nalchik Electrovacuum Plant; mother, Nina Nikolaevna Bayer (born 1927), worked as a chief technologist there. The mother's half-brother is the famous theoretical physicist Vladimir Nikolaevich Bayer, the son of Nikolai Nikolaevich Bayer, the grandfather of Andrei Geim.

Education

In 1975, Andrei Geim graduated with a gold medal from secondary school No. 3 in the city of Nalchik and tried to enter MEPhI, but unsuccessfully (an obstacle was the applicant's German origin). Returning to Nalchik, he worked for 8 months at the Nalchik Electrovacuum Plant. At this time, he met V. G. Petrosyan and was engaged in intensive training in physics. In 1976 he entered the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
Until 1982 he studied at the Faculty of General and Applied Physics, graduated with honors ("four" in the diploma only in the political economy of socialism) and entered graduate school. In 1987 he received a PhD in Physics and Mathematics from the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Andrey Konstantinovich Geim was born on October 21 1958 years in Sochi. His parents, Konstantin Alekseevich Geim and Nina Nikolaevna Bayer were engineers, by nationality Volga Germans.

WITH 1965 by 1975 year Geim lived and studied at school number 3 in Nalchik, which he graduated with a gold medal. After leaving school, he tried to enter the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI), but they refused to accept him there because of his nationality. Therefore, he worked for one year as a mechanic at the Nalchik Electrovacuum Plant, the chief engineer of which was his father.

IN 1976 year Geim was again refused at MEPhI and entered the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), where he defended 1982 year diploma. After that, Geim began working as a graduate student at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences (ISSP), where in 1987 year he defended his thesis (later in the questionnaires he referred to this scientific title as Ph.D.), after which he worked for three years as a researcher at the Institute for Problems of Microelectronics and High-Purity Materials in Chernogolovka, created on the basis of ISSP. In Chernolovka, Geim studied metal physics, which, according to his own words, quickly got tired of it.

IN 1990 year Geim went to the UK for an internship at the University of Nottingham and no longer worked in the USSR and Russia.

IN 1992 he studied science at the University of Bath, with 1993 by 1994 worked for a year at the University of Copenhagen.

IN 1994 year Geim became a researcher, and since 2000 years - Professor at the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. He received the citizenship of this country, renouncing the Russian and changing the name to Andre Geim. In parallel, with 1998 by 2000 year Geim was a special professor at the University of Nottingham.

IN 2000 year, Game, along with Michael Berry (Michael Berry) received the Shnobel (anti-Nobel) prize for the article 1997 year, which described an experiment in the field of diamagnetic levitation - the co-authors achieved levitation of a frog using a superconducting magnet. The press also noted that Game was able to create sticky tape that acts on the sticking mechanisms of the gecko, and in 2001 year in co-authors of one article included the hamster "Tisha" (H.A.M.S.ter Tisha).

IN 2000 year, Game and his wife received an invitation to the University of Manchester and a year later left the Netherlands, leaving a negative review of the local scientific community. He became Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester and held this post until 2007 of the year.

IN 2002 he headed the Department of Condensed Matter Physics and the Center for Mesoscience & Nanotechnology at this university.

WITH 2007 year he took the position of Langworthy Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester.

IN 2004 Year, Game, together with his student, discovered graphene - a two-dimensional layer of graphite one atom thick, which has good thermal conductivity, high mechanical rigidity and other useful properties.

IN 2007 year for this discovery Game was awarded the (Mott Prize) of the International Institute of Physics, and in 2009 year became a professor of the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge.

IN 2010 year, Game was awarded the John J Carty Award by the US National Academy of Sciences and the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society of Great Britain.

IN 2006 year Scientific American included Geim in the list of the 50 most influential scientists in the world, and in 2008 year, "Russian Newsweek" named Geim one of the ten most talented Russian emigrant scientists.

In October 2010 years Geim and were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for pioneering experiments with the two-dimensional material graphene."

After the news of the awarding of the Nobel Prize to the natives of Russia, they were invited to work at the Russian innovation center Skolkovo, but Geim said in an interview that he was not going to return to his homeland: “Staying in Russia was like spending my life fighting windmills, and work for me is a hobby, and I absolutely did not want to spend my life on mouse fuss. " Then he called himself in an interview "European and 20 percent Kabardino-Balkarian." Despite his reluctance to return to Russia, he noted the high quality of fundamental education at MIPT: 2006 Year, Game said that those lobes of the brain that he lost due to alcoholic libations after exams at the institute were replaced by lobes occupied by information received at the institute that he never needed. He also collaborated with the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Chernogolovka, where they investigated the possibility of creating a graphene transistor.

The press noted that Game is not an ordinary scientist, but in essence is closer to the inventor: he often takes the first idea he comes across as a basis and tries to develop it, and sometimes something interesting comes out of this.

Game is married. His wife, Irina Grigorieva, Russian, she is a candidate of sciences, also with 2000 year worked at the University of Manchester. They have a daughter, a Dutch citizen. In his free time, Geim enjoys mountain climbing.

Discoveries

Created biomimetic adhesive - an adhesive material without sticky substances.

Conducted a unique experiment with diamagnetic levitation, better known as the "flying frog experiment." The scientist managed to hang the frog in the air without the use of cables, mirrors and sleight of hand. Gravity was defeated by a balanced magnetic field (previously all attempts were to disconnect gravity from the source). The experiment was repeated with grasshoppers, fish, mice and plants. Experiments have proven that thanks to diamagnetism, any living creature can be lifted into the air.

In 2004, together with his student Konstantin Novoselov, he proved the possibility of synthesizing graphene - a new substance one atom thick with unique properties: increased strength, high electrical conductivity, transparency and, at the same time, high density. At the moment, graphene (provided that industrial technology is established) is the most promising material in the field of microelectronics.

In 1987 he received a PhD in Physics and Mathematics from the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He worked as a researcher at the ISSP of the USSR Academy of Sciences and at the Institute for Problems of Microelectronic Technology of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

In 1990 he received a scholarship from the Royal Society of England and left the Soviet Union. He worked at the University of Nottingham and also briefly at the University of Copenhagen, before becoming an assistant professor, and since 2001 - at the University of Manchester. Currently he is the head of the Manchester Center for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology, as well as the head of the condensed matter physics department.

Honorary Doctor of the Delft University of Technology, the Swiss Technical School of Zurich and the University of Antwerp. He has the title of "Langworthy Professor" at the University of Manchester (Langworthy Professor, among those awarded this title were Ernest Rutherford, Laurence Bragg and Patrick Blackett).

In 2008, he received an offer to head the Max Planck Institute in Germany, but refused.

National of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Wife - Irina Grigorieva (a graduate of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys), worked, like Game, at the ISSP of the USSR Academy of Sciences, currently works with her husband in the laboratory of the University of Manchester.

After Geim was awarded the Nobel Prize, it was announced that he would be invited to work at Skolkovo. Game said: At the same time, Game said that he does not have Russian citizenship and feels comfortable in the UK, expressing skepticism about the Russian government's project to create an analogue of Silicon Valley in the country.

Geim's achievements include the creation of a biomimetic adhesive (glue), which later became known as gecko tape.

Also widely known is the experiment with, including the famous "flying frog", for which Game, together with the famous mathematician and theorist Sir Michael Berry from, received the 2000 Shnobel Prize.

In 2004, Andrei Geim, together with his student Konstantin Novoselov, invented a technology for producing graphene, a new material that is a monatomic layer of carbon. As it turned out in the course of further experiments, graphene has a number of unique properties: it has increased strength, conducts electricity as well as copper, surpasses all known materials in thermal conductivity, is transparent to light, but at the same time dense enough not to let even helium molecules pass through. Are the smallest known molecules. All this makes it a promising material for a number of applications, such as the creation of touch screens, light panels, and possibly solar panels.

For this discovery (Great Britain) in 2007 he awarded Geim. He also received the prestigious EuroPhysics Prize (with Konstantin Novoselov). In 2010, the invention of graphene was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, which Geim also shared with Novoselov.

Andrey Geim is fond of mountain tourism. Elbrus became his first "five-thousander", and his favorite mountain was Kilimanjaro
The scientist is distinguished by a kind of humor. One of the proofs of this is an article on diamagnetic levitation, in which Geim's co-author was named his favorite hamster ("Hamster") Tisha. Game himself said on this occasion that the contribution of the hamster to the experiment with levitation was more direct... Subsequently, this work was used to obtain a Ph.D.
