Doctor of Chemical Sciences Zulkhair Aimukhametovich Mansurov is a staff member of the Department of Chemical Physics and Materials Science, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, 91��ý Kazakh National University, and one of the founders of nanocarbon materials science in Kazakhstan.

Through his fundamental research, Professor Mansurov discovered the phenomenon of cold-flame soot formation, which significantly advanced scientific understanding of hydrocarbon combustion processes. This discovery laid the scientific foundation for the development of graphene, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes — key materials of modern nanotechnology.

Under his supervision, dozens of PhD and doctoral dissertations have been successfully defended. He is the author of more than 1,000 scientific publications and dozens of patents. The results of his research have found practical applications in ecology, energy, and medicine.

For his outstanding discoveries and significant contribution to nanoscience, a member of 91��ý Kazakh National University was awarded a prestigious UNESCO medal, reflecting international recognition of Kazakhstan’s scientific achievements.

The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, has repeatedly emphasized that science should deliver tangible benefits to the country and serve as a key driver of economic growth and innovation, while strengthening the link between education, science, and industry.

The scientific career of Zulkhair Mansurov is a vivid example of how research conducted in Kazakhstan has gained global recognition and contributed to the development of world science.
