International Conference on Advanced Materials and Sustainable Development November 24-25, 2020 Vancouver, Canada

Vladimir Sobolev is a professor at the Department of Physics of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Dr. Sobolev earned his M.S. Degree from the Kharkov State University in Ukrainian SSR; he earned his Ph.D. in Physical & Mathematical Sciences from Donetsk Physics & Technology Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR; obtained his Habilitation Degree of Doctor of Physical & Mathematical Sciences from The Supreme Attestation Committee of the USSR. During his teaching and research career Dr. Sobolev taught in Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S.A.

His main research interests are in wide range of properties of materials with spontaneous polarization (ferroelectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric substances), phase transitions in materials with spontaneous polarization, kinetic and relaxational behavior of systems of interacting quasiparticles in substances subjected to the action of intense external alternating fields (magnetic and electric fields), optical properties of magnetic and magnetoelectric materials, and properties of high-temperature superconducting materials. Results of his research have been published in more than 300 articles. His results were presented in more than 150 presentations at different conferences. He authored several invention patents on methods of measurements of parameters of thin magnetic films.

Dr Adiguzel graduated from Department of Physics, Ankara University, Turkey in 1974 and received PhD- degree from Dicle University, Diyarbakir-Turkey. He has studied at Surrey University, Guildford, UK, as a post doctoral research scientist in 1986-1987, and studied on shape memory alloys. He worked as research assistant, 1975-80, at Dicle University and shifted to Firat University, Elazig, Turkey in 1980. He became professor in 1996, and he has already been working as professor. He published over 60 papers in international and national journals; He joined over 100 conferences and symposia in international and national level as participant, invited speaker or keynote speaker with contributions of oral or poster. He served the program chair or conference chair/co-chair in some of these activities. In particular, he joined in last six years (2014 - 2019) over 60 conferences as Keynote Speaker and Conference Co-Chair organized by different companies. He supervised 5 PhD- theses and 3 M.Sc- theses. Dr. Adiguzel served his directorate of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Firat University, in 1999-2004. He received a certificate awarded to him and his experimental group in recognition of significant contribution of 2 patterns to the Powder Diffraction File – Release 2000. The ICDD (International Centre for Diffraction Data) also appreciates cooperation of his group and interest in Powder Diffraction File.
