Sir Andre Konstantin Geim

Edit

Sir Andre Geim is a Russian-born Dutch–British physicist and Nobel Laureate, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to condensed matter physics. He co-discovered graphene in 2004—a one-atom-thick, two-dimensional allotrope of carbon—earning him and Konstantin Novoselov the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene." Uniquely, he is also the only person to win both a Nobel and an Ig Nobel Prize, the latter awarded in 2000 for levitating a frog using magnets.
