Dimitri Roditchev
Dimitri Roditchev is a French physicist of Russian-Ukrainian origin, specializing in electronic properties of nano-materials, superconductors, electron transport, and quantum tunneling phenomena. He is a professor at ESPCI ParisTech and a research director at CNRS.
Laureate of Prix Louis Ancel. of French Physical Society in 2003 for his works on tunneling spectroscopy of high temperature superconductors, Dimitri Roditchev works in Laboratoire de Physique et d'Études des Matériaux where he is team leader of QuantumSpecs group, director of joint team QuEST between the laboratories LPEM-ESPCI and INSP-UPMC, and member of direction board of LPEM.
The research of Dimitri Roditchev at Moscow State University concerned studies of electronic properties of disordered metals and insulators, in relation with metal-insulator and superconductor-insulator phase transitions. In France since 1991, his activities include basic research and engineering of high precision cryogenic equipment for scientific research.
The teaching activity of Dimitri Roditchev includes lectures in Condensed Matter Physics, advising personal research projects at l'ESPCI-ParisTech. He is author of popular science articles and books, public conferences and interviews with the media.
