Welcome to the homepage of Alexey Dobrynin.


Currently I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Nanoscience, Institut Néel in Grenoble, France. Here I work on the development of functional nanostructured magnetic materials. Before that I was a postdoc at Ames laboratory of the US Department of Energy.
 
In 2006 I received my PhD in physics degree from Leuven University in Belgium. I worked in the group of clusters and laser spectroscopy, which is a part of Laboratory of Solid State Physics and Magnetism, Institute for Nanoscale Physics and Chemistry. During my PhD research I was busy with production and characterization of nanoclusters and nanostructured materials, in particular, magnetic nanocluster systems.  

In 2000 I graduated from the Faculty of Experimental and Theoretical Physics of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, which is one of the top-5 Russian universities for physics and technology.

Here you may find the list of my publications:
