Dr. Oleg Selyugin | Big Data and Statistical Analytics | Big Data Analytics Award

Joint Institute for Nuclear Research | Russia

Dr. Oleg Selyugin is a Russian empirical and theoretical physicist with a distinguished career in high-energy hadron scattering and the structure of hadrons. After completing his studies at the Physics Department of Moscow State University, he joined the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), first as a probationer and researcher at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, and later at the Bogoliubov Theoretical Laboratory (BTL), where he now serves as a leading scientist. At BTL, he earned his Ph.D. with the thesis “High energy elastic hadron-hadron scattering in a wide momentum transfer region,” and later obtained his Doctor of Physics and Mathematics degree with the thesis “The structure of high-energy amplitude of the elastic hadron-hadron scattering in the diffraction region.” Dr Selyugin has been recognized with multiple International Prizes of JINR for his outstanding contributions to polaron physics, hadron physics, and high-energy physics. His primary research interests include the structure of hadrons (PDFs, GPDs, form-factors), phenomenology of high-energy physics (differential cross sections, spin phenomena), models of extra dimensions (d-brane gravity), and nonlinear effects. He has been actively involved in interpreting experimental results from the CERN LHC, particularly the TOTEM and ATLAS Collaborations. His theoretical work integrates electromagnetic and gravitational form-factors derived from novel t-dependent GPDs, as well as soft and cross-even pomeron contributions, within dispersion-relation-based frameworks. With over 180 scientific papers, Dr Selyugin has made a profound and lasting impact on the understanding of elastic hadron scattering at high energies. Although specific bibliometric indicators such as 17 h-index, 78 documents, and 815 citations vary across databases, his scientific influence is widely recognized within the international physics community. He continues his pioneering research at JINR in Dubna, Russia.
