text: Oganov has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles (many in top journals, e.g. Nature, Science) and book chapters and 5 patents. He is a coauthor of 3 monographs and the author of 1 popular science book. His works have >30600 citations, h-index 84 (Google scholar, as of March 2023).
  His most important works are in fields of computational materials discovery, in particular the effects of pressure on chemical bonding, and state of matter at extreme conditions (e.g. inside the Earth and other planets). He has developed novel and highly efficient methods of crystal structure prediction  that became basis of the USPEX code, used by more than 8500 researchers worldwide. Among the highlights are the discovery of the structure of a superhard phase of boron, gamma-B, transparent phase of sodium, new carbon allotrope, prediction of MgSiO post-perovskite and its stability in the Earth's mantle, prediction of other planet-forming minerals, prediction and synthesis of "forbidden" compounds (e.g., NaCl), discovery of helium chemistry, and creation of borophene - a 2D-monolayer of boron atoms, with great promises for future technologies. Oganov has proposed a new scale of electronegativities of the chemical elements.
  Extending the definition of electronegativity to high pressures and tabulating electronegativities and chemical hardness for all elements (up to Cm, #96), Oganov and colleagues were able to explain many unusual phenomena of high pressure chemistry, as well as predicting new phenomena and compounds. Prediction of the new high pressure hydrous compound MgSiOH has inspired a new hypothesis on the origin of the Earth's hydrosphere. Oganov and colleagues have predicted and studied (theoretically and experimentally) a number of novel superconductors, which are among the highest-temperature superconductors known to date: ThH and ThH, YH, (La,Y)H and (La,Y)H. Computational methods developed by Oganov open up the way to discovery of materials with desired properties.
