Lev Bulat. Lev Petrovich Bulat (; 1947–2016) was a Russian physicist.

Bulat was born on April 11, 1947, in Chernovtsy, Ukraine. In 1988 he received a  D.Sc in Physics and Mathematics, from Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, with the thesis: "Transport Phenomena in Semiconductors under Large Temperature Gradients".

He was an expert in transport properties of semiconductors, physics of nanostructures, thermoelectric phenomena, direct energy conversion, thermoelectric cooling. He was a Professor of electrical and electronic engineering in Saint Petersburg State University of Low Temperatures and Food Engineering, Russia.

He died suddenly on June 12, 2016, age 69, less than two weeks after attending an international conference.
