Lenar Tagirov -Since 1998 he is a Professor at the Theoretical Physics Department of KSU and since 2004 is Director of the Research Laboratory "Physics of Magnetic Nanostructures" at KSU. L.R. Tagirov was a Principal Investigator of three successfully finished national grants, he is the leader of RFBR project, participating also in the international projects REC-007 (Kazan) sponsored by CRDF (USA). Prof. L. Tagirov, with theoretical part of the group, is involved in the project "Ballistic Magnetoresistance in thin-film nanocontacts" funded by EC. He has developed an original approach to calculate electric conductivity and magnetoresistance (MR) of tiny contacts made of ferromagnetic metals and proposed the concept of Quantum Spin Valve. He has authored/co-authored to-date more than 70 refereed journal papers, he has co-editored the Kluwer Academic Publishers volume "Nanostructured Magnetic Materials and their Applications", NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry(v. 143, 2004), organized NATO ARW NMMA-2003 at Istanbul, 1-4 July 2003 (co-director from Partner Countries) and entered Organization Committees of few International scientific meetings (NT-32, Kazan, Russia; NMMA-2001, Istanbul, Turkey; RTNM-2003, Gebze, Turkey, NDFA-2004, Kishinev, Moldova).
