Prof. Dr. Kev Salikhov | Kazan Institute of Physics and Technology | Russia

Prof. Dr. Kev M. Salikhov, a distinguished physicist and full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is internationally recognized as one of the founders of spin chemistry and a pioneer in magnetic resonance research.  he graduated from Kazan State University and went on to make fundamental contributions to spin physics, quantum coherence, and the theory of chemical reactions. His groundbreaking theoretical work explained the influence of external magnetic fields on radical reactions and the magnetic isotope effect, laying the foundation for new scientific fields such as MARY spectroscopy and advanced EPR/NMR methodologies. He developed the theory of pulsed EPR techniques, spin echo modulation, phase relaxation, and selective excitation, as well as the widely applied PELDOR method for nanometric distance measurements between paramagnetic centers. His research extended to elucidating the primary stages of charge separation in photosynthesis, quantum beats in EPR spectra, and exchange interactions in paramagnets. With over 210 publications, more than 2,621 citations by 1,690 documents and an h-index of 26, Scopus Author ID: 7003735739. Prof. Salikhov’s influence spans theoretical physics, chemistry, quantum information, and nanometrology. As long-time director and now scientific director of the Kazan Institute of Physics and Technology, and founder of Applied Magnetic Resonance, he continues to shape international research in magnetic resonance and quantum science.
