Biography

Professor Sir Andre Geim is Regius Professor and Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Manchester. He also holds a position as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore where he spends 2 months in-residence per year. Prof Geim has received many international awards and distinctions, including the John Carty Prize from the US National Academy of Sciences and the Copley Medal from the Royal Society. Most notably, he was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for his ground-breaking work on graphene, a one-atom-thick material made of carbon. Prof Geim was also awarded the IgNobel prize in 2000 for his work on levitating frogs, becoming the only recipient of both Nobel and IgNobel Prizes. He has also been knighted in the UK and Netherlands.

During his career, Prof Geim has published many research papers, of which more than 20 are cited over 1,000 times and 4 are cited over 10,000 times. Two of the latter are now on the list of the 100 most cited research papers in human history. Thomson-Reuters has repeatedly named him among the world’s most active scientists and attributes to him the initiation of three new research fronts – diamagnetic levitation, gecko tape and graphene.
