Maxim is a Professor at the Centre for Sustainable Energy and Resources with over 30 years of research experience in physics, material science, and rock physics working at leading research organisations in Russia, Japan, and New Zealand. Maxim obtained his MSc in Physics and Engineering in 1986 and his PhD in Physics in 1990 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia. He has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers and is the inventor of 11 international patents. Maxim’s current research is focused on the properties of subsurface reservoir rocks and minerals, including elastic and inelastic properties of rocks at teleseismic, seismic, and ultrasonic frequencies; digital rock physics; mechanical properties of rocks at micro level (nanoindentation); and direct observation of multiphase fluid.
