Professor Yury Gogotsi has been ranked #2 in the world in Materials Science and #1 in the USA for lifetime citation impact in the latest Top 1000 Scholars ranking.
This recognition reflects the extraordinary impact of Professor Gogotsi’s research and the work of the many researchers who have contributed to his research program over the years.
Gogotsi’s scientific journey is closely connected with several leading researchers in the field, including Professor Michel W. Barsoum, whose pioneering work on MAX phases laid important foundations for the development of MXenes; Dr. Michael Naguib, a former Drexel Ph.D. student and first author of the landmark 2011 paper reporting the first MXenes; and Professor Patrice Simon, a leading researcher in electrochemical energy storage and a longtime collaborator of Gogotsi.
Together with colleagues around the world, their research has helped establish MXenes as a major family of 2D materials with applications ranging from energy storage and electronics to biomedical technologies and communications.
We are proud to celebrate Professor Gogotsi and the many students, researchers, collaborators, and alumni whose contributions have helped advance this field and expand the global impact of research at the A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute!
