Kuzmin V. Alexey

I am a graduate of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia holding specialists degree in fundamental physical and chemical engineering. Since the first years of my study, I have started to work at the Institute of Solid State Physics of Russian Academy of Science (ISSP) as an attached student. Our group (the sector of the elemental and structural analysis, SESA LAB) to which I belong is concerned with discovering properties of new organic-based conductive materials.

Currently, I’m a Ph.D. and work for the ISSP as research scientist. The main part of my work is connected with studying of structure and properties (conductivity, superconductivity, magnetic behavior) of fullerenes (\text{C}_{60}) and phthalocyanines (\text{Pc}) complexes.

The prime goal of my Ph.D. studies is prediction of interesting physical properties based on structure changing in crystals of ionic [\text{MPc}]^{n-}, \text{C}_{60}^{n-} and bis(ethylenedithia)tetrathiafulvalene (\text{BEDT-TTF}), especially under extreme conditions such as low temperatures and high pressures.
