Natalia Dubrovinskaia (born 18 February 1961) is a Swedish geologist of Russian origin.
In 1983,Dubrovinskaia earned a Master of Science degree in geochemistry from Moscow State University. In 1989,she received her Ph.D. in crystallography and crystal physics at the same institution. She worked as a senior researcher fellow until 2007,completing her habilitation of crystallography and Umhabilitation the following year at University of Bayreuth,Germany. [1] [2] In 2011,she worked as a staff scientist at the University of Heidelberg.
Dubrovinskaia was a research fellow at the Ministry of Geology and a postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University.
In 2005,she led a team of researchers from the University of Bayreuth that was reported to have produced aggregated diamond nanorods from fullerene under high temperatures and pressures. [3] [4] [5] Two years earlier,Japanese researchers had produced large samples of nanodiamond from graphite in a more cost-effective way and discovered to be harder than diamond. [6]
From 2007 to 2011,Dubrovinskaia worked at the Heidelberg University in Germany as a Privatdozent and senior scientist. Since then,she returned to University of Bayreuth,where she is employed as Professor of Materials Physics and Technology at Extreme Conditions. [1] [2]
From 2012 to 2014,Dubrovinskaia was the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Materials and Chemistry. [1]
Dubrovinskaia is married to Leonid Dubrovinsky,a geoscientist at University of Bayreuth. [7] Together,both she and her husband have been working as a scientific team for the past four decades.
Throughout her career,Dubrovinskaia has published over 246 papers covering a variety of topics but mostly focusing on crystallography,diamond anvil cells,analytical chemistry,diffraction and diamond. [8] Her extensive research in the field of biology encompasses various subjects such as X-ray crystallography,bulk modulus,and boron. Additionally,her investigation using diamond anvil cells focus on areas such as mineralogy—specifically related to mantle and stishovite—as well as thermodynamics,which has connections to fields like Earth's core studies.
Her works in analytical chemistry encompasses abinitio quantum chemistry methods and ambient pressure,while her diffraction study integrates various areas,including elasticity,phase transitions,single crystals,synchrotron,and isostructural phenomena. Her investigation delves into the correlation between diamond and topics such as chemical engineering,intersecting with challenges in metal-related issues. Furthermore,she has also done research into a new method of synthesizing rare earth-metal compounds. In this research,her primary was on exploring the intriguing reactivity of alkali halides,like common table salt (NaCl),when subjected to high pressure in the presence of rare-earth metals such as yttrium and dysprosium.
