Abstract

Sevda Rzayeva is an Associate Professor at Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University. Her research profile encompasses computational physics and nanoscale materials modelling, with particular attention to the electronic, magnetic, structural, and adsorption characteristics of semiconductor nanotubes and doped nanomaterials. Recent publications address transition-metal-doped silicon carbide nanotubes, substituted ZnSe systems, and hydrogen adsorption for potential energy applications. These studies employ first-principles and density functional theory (DFT)-based approaches to investigate structure–property relationships in nanoscale systems.

Introduction

Computational nanomaterials research provides a theoretical framework for understanding how atomic substitution, transition-metal doping, and surface interactions influence nanoscale materials. Rzayeva’s reported publications fall within this area, with emphasis on semiconductor nanotubes and computational prediction of their physical properties. Her recent work also connects nanoscale modelling with hydrogen-energy research through investigation of H2 adsorption mechanisms. [1]

Research Profile

Rzayeva’s academic qualifications include a PhD in High Energy Physics from the Azerbaijan National Institute of Physics, completed in 2012, followed by postdoctoral training in Computational Physics at the Ministry of Science Institute of Physics and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan. From September 2025, she has been associated with Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University as an Associate Professor.

Research Contributions

The reported research examines how elemental doping and substitution modify electronic and magnetic characteristics in nanoscale semiconductor systems. Studies of vanadium-, cobalt-, aluminium-, and gallium-modified silicon carbide nanotubes provide computational assessments of electronic structure, magnetic behaviour, and stability. [2] [3] Related work on ZnSe substitution further explores transition-metal effects on semiconductor properties. [4]

These indicators provide quantitative evidence of scholarly visibility, although bibliometric values can change over time and should be interpreted according to the indexing database and date of retrieval. [1]

Award Suitability

Based on the supplied research record, Rzayeva’s work is relevant to the Best Academic Researcher Award under the Global Nano Awards framework, particularly because her recent studies address computational nanomaterials, nanotube-based systems, electronic and magnetic properties, and hydrogen-energy applications. The combination of academic experience, research publications, and reported bibliometric indicators provides a documented basis for consideration. [5]

Conclusion

Sevda Rzayeva’s academic profile reflects an interdisciplinary connection between computational physics and nanomaterials research. Her reported studies of doped nanotubes, semiconductor systems, and hydrogen adsorption demonstrate continued investigation of nanoscale properties relevant to advanced materials and energy technologies.
