Additional Education
P.S. Fedotov is considered to be of the most globally recognized specialists in developing dynamic methods of fractionation of forms of elements (that vary in terms of their mobility and potential biological availability) in anthropogenic and environmental solids, as well as the leading Russian expert in methods of separation of nano- and microparticles in liquid media.
The results obtained in the research group under his supervision completely correspond to world standards and even exceed them in some aspects. The fluency in foreign languages and recognized scientific qualification allow Petr Fedotov to give regularly lectures (including plenary and keynote ones) at major international conferences.
