Alexander A. Solovev is a nanotechnology researcher recognized as one of the pioneers of man-made nanomachines and the inventor of the strain-engineered nanomembrane method. He has held academic appointments at Fudan University (Professor, 2015–2024) and visiting positions at Harvard University (2017). He was a Visiting Academic at the University of Queensland’s ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC) and is the founding director of the NanoTRIZ Innovation Institute.[1]
Education
M.Sc., Technical University of Munich (2005); Ph.D., Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW Dresden) (2011).[2]
Career
Postdoctoral researcher, Technical University of Munich (2011–2013); Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (2013–2015); University of Toronto (2015). Professor, Fudan University (2015–2024). Visiting Scholar, Harvard University (2017). Visiting Academic, University of Queensland (2024).[3]
Research
Solovev developed the concept of strain-engineered nanomembranes, thin films that self-roll or curve due to internal lattice mismatch, enabling mechanically reconfigurable micro- and nanoscale devices.[4] He is also regarded as a pioneer of man-made nanomachines, having demonstrated catalytic microtubular “jet engines” that self-propel in fluid through gas-bubble recoil.[5] Subsequent work spans autonomous catalytic nanomotors, reconfigurable photonic/quantum devices, and microfluidic systems for energy and biosensing applications.[6]
Legacy and roles
Solovev’s research has influenced the fields of nanomembranes, micromotors, and microfluidics by integrating mechanical strain and catalytic motion into reconfigurable nanosystems. He is the founding director of the NanoTRIZ Innovation Institute, an Australia-based independent research and education hub focusing on nanotechnology, microfluidics, and AI-powered innovation for science translation. He also serves as the Editor-in-Chief of SciViD – The Journal of Video Science (also accessible via scivid.ai).[7]
