Dr. Yuri M. Lvov is a Professor of Chemistry, T. Pipes Eminent Endowed Chair on Micro and Nanosystems at the Institute for Micromanufacturing, Louisiana Tech University. He earned his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (protein crystallography) from #1 Russian university, M. Lomonosov’s Moscow State University in 1979, then worked at the Institute of Crystallography, Russian Academy of Sciences where got Doctor of Science in physics in 1991. After Soviet Union collapsed, he worked in the world famous research centers in Germany (Max Planck Institute for Colloids), Japan (National Institute of Materials Science, Tsukuba), and USA (Naval Research Laboratory, Washington DC). In 1999, Dr. Lvov came to Louisiana Tech from the Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering, Naval Research Lab. His area of specialization is micro/nano technology including assembly of ultrathin organized films, bio/composites, construction of ordered shells on tiny templates (drug capsules, shells on microbes), clay nanotubes for controlled release of anticorrosion, bioactive agents and drugs. Y. Lvov has 14 US, Australian and Japanese patents on nanomaterials. He was among pioneers of the polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, - a method which, after his first papers in 1993, followed by many thousands publications. LbL assembly already found industrial applications in HPLC, for eye lens, cellulose fiber for better fabric and paper, microcapsules for insulin sustained release, cancer drug nanocapsules, anticorrosion protection. He also pioneered halloysite clay micro/nano tubes for functional polymeric composites (flame-retardant, anticorrosion, antimicrobials). Y. Lvov edited four books, published 27 book chapters, and 250 peer reviewed papers on nanosystems in high impact journals: ACS Nano, Nano Lett., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Advanced Materials, Progress in Polymer Science, Adv. Funct. Materials. Lvov’s total citation index is above 24,000 which is an outstanding result, and his h-index is 86 in Google Scholar and 79 in Scopus. As an example, his pioneering paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on protein architecture was cited 1,687 times and 30 other papers were cited more than 200 times each. His NSF, NIH, NASA, DoE grants and industrial contracts exceeded $10 mln in the last twelve years. In 2003, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2018 he chaired American Chemical Society International Symposiums on Nanomaterials in New York, Philadelphia, Anaheim, New Orleans and San Diego. Y. Lvov was named the Louisiana State’s Top Researcher in New Technologies (2007), and in 2008 he got Best of Small Tech National Innovator Award in recognition of achievements in micro and nanotechnology. In 2015, Yuri Lvov was awarded with prestigious international A. von Humboldt Prize for lifetime achievements in nanochemistry (it was the third such prize to Louisiana professors). Dr. Lvov has been invited to present talks at more than 100 national or international scientific conferences and has delivered lectures at more than 60 major universities and companies. Y. Lvov is elected a member of US National Academy of Inventors and an honorable professor of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China and Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Russia.
