Natalia Dubrovinskaia
Natalia Dubrovinskaia (born 18 February 1961) is a Swedish geologist of Russian origin. In 2005, she led[1] a team of researchers from the University of Bayreuth who were reported to have produced aggregated diamond nanorods from fullerene under high temperatures and pressures.[2][3] Two years earlier large samples of nanodiamond were produced in a cheaper way (from graphite) and discovered to be harder than diamond by Japanese researchers.[4] Dubrovinskaia currently works at the University of Heidelberg in Germany as a Privatdozent and Senior Scientist.
Personal[]
Dubrovinskaia is married to Leonid Dubrovinsky, a geoscientist at University of Bayreuth [1].
