Natalia Dubrovinskaia

Natalia Dubrovinskaia is a Russian geologist, a Swedish citizen. In 2005, she led^[1] a team of researchers from the University of Bayreuth who were reported to have produced aggregated diamond nanorods from fullerene under high temperatures and pressures.^[2][3] Two years earlier large samples of nanodiamond were produced in a cheaper way (from graphite) and discovered to be harder than diamond by Japanese researchers.^[4] Dubrovinskaia currently works at the University of Heidelberg in Germany as a Privatdozent and Senior Scientist.
