École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has named Professor Konstantin Novoselov as the first-ever EPFL Fellow, inaugurating a new honorary title created to recognize eminent scientific personalities of exceptional international stature. He will be affiliated as an EPFL Fellow with the Institute of Physics in the School of Basic Sciences.Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010, Professor Novoselov is globally renowned for his pioneering work on graphene and other two-dimensional materials. His discoveries have fundamentally transformed materials science, opening new perspectives in electronics, energy, and quantum technologies, and continue to drive innovation across multiple fields.“The EPFL Fellow designation reflects our deep appreciation of Professor Novoselov’s outstanding scientific achievements and his international leadership,” said Paul Dyson, Dean of the School of Basic Sciences. “We are particularly honored to welcome him as the very first recipient of this distinction, and we look forward to strengthening our collaboration and scientific exchange.”The creation of the EPFL Fellow title underscores the institution’s commitment to engaging with leading scientists worldwide and fostering high-impact partnerships in emerging research areas.To celebrate this nomination, EPFL will host a special event featuring a public lecture by Professor Novoselov, offering students, researchers, and the broader community a unique opportunity to hear directly from one of the most influential physicists of our time. A dedicated communication with further details about the event will follow.About Professor Konstantin Novoselov Konstantin Novoselov is a physicist specializing in condensed matter and nanotechnology.
