Slavi Sevov

Slavi Sevov is a Professor at the University of Notre Dame, focusing on the chemistry of main-group metals and semimetals in negative oxidation states. His work bridges inorganic chemistry and materials synthesis through innovative approaches.

• Education: PhD in Chemistry (Iowa State University, 1993), M.Sc. (University of Sofia, 1985), B.S. (University of Sofia, 1983).

His research explores the formation of complex clusters like E₉^4- and E₇^3- for materials functionalization, oligomerization, and hybrid frameworks. Recent work involves hydrothermal synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrids, such as borophosphates and polyoxometalates.

Scientific awards include the Exxon-Mobil Faculty Award, NSF CAREER Award, and Dreyfus New Faculty Award, highlighting his contributions to solid-state chemistry.
