Artyom Oganov: biography of a new generation Russian scientist
A.R. Oganov was born in 1975. His father is an economist with Armenian roots, and his mother is a psychologist, Jewish by birth, who lived in Ukraine. With the birth of a son, a young family moved to live from Dnepropetrovsk to Moscow, where Artem spent his childhood and youth.
At the age of 4, the boy fell into the hands of a book on chemistry and he became interested in science. A dream appeared: to become a chemist and discover new elements. He dreamed of meeting and working with the outstanding scientists of that time, Flerov and Hovhannisyan. Later life showed that dreams really come true, and the thirst for knowledge and uninterrupted labor bear fruit.
Artem graduated with honors from school and also successfully later at Moscow State University. Lomonosov, faculty of geology. His specialty is "crystallography and crystal chemistry." After graduation, a young graduate student received a presidential scholarship in the amount of $ 24 thousand to study at the prestigious University of London.
Further, the career began to develop rapidly. He worked for about seven years: first in England, and then in Switzerland. After Oganov was invited to America, where he had the opportunity to open his own laboratory.

Such grants were created with the aim of attracting talented scientists to the universities of their country and provide the necessary conditions for research. Thus, Artyom began work on three laboratories and three countries — the USA, Russia and China. But he decided to choose Russia as the place of permanent residence.
Today Oganov is a world-famous crystallographic chemist. At Forbes magazine, he is listed in the list of "10 Most Successful Russian Scientists, " and expert journals of the Russian Federation distinguish him among the "100 Most Influential Russians."
