Kerim Rehim oğlu Allahverdiyev (born April 1, 1944, Yerevan, Soviet Union) is a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (1981), a professor, and a full member of the European Academy of Sciences.

## Life

Allahverdiyev was born in 1944 in the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, and after graduating from the Lebedev Physics Institute in Russia (now Moscow Power Engineering Institute), he began working at the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences in 1967. He pursued his doctoral studies from 1969 to 1972 and completed his Doctor of Sciences degree, the highest level of education in the Soviet academic system, in 1981. Allahverdiyev worked at Oxford University's Clarendon Laboratory from 1974 to 1975, and from 1991 to 1995, he served as a professor in the Physics Department at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara. In 1995, he became the department head at the TUBITAK Marmara Research Center, and since 2002, he has been the chief scientific researcher at the Physics Institute of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences. Throughout his academic career, he collaborated with more than 40 academic institutions, including Moscow State University, Oxford University, Sheffield University, Imperial College London, MPI FKF, Stuttgart, RWTH Aachen, Bochum, Bayreuth, Tsukuba, Cincinnati, Madrid, Colorado, and Hamburg universities, as well as the United States Air Force Wright-Patterson Laboratory.
Allahverdiyev has authored 345 scientific articles, 3 book, 2 monographs, and holds 5 patents.

## Awards and honours

In 1988, he was honored with the Azerbaijan State Prize, one of the highest awards in Soviet Azerbaijan. In 1989, he received the "Window-on-Science" medal from Aachen Technical University. From 1987 to 1989, he was recognized with the Royal Society's award as a visiting professor at the European Space Research Center, earning him the honorary title of the Soviet Union's Scientist of the Year for this achievement.
