Alex Lubnin
Dr. Lubnin graduated from the University of St. Petersburg, Russia. Before coming to America, he conducted research at the Central Synthetic Rubber Research Institute (VNIISK) in St. Petersburg. At the end of 1990 when “Perestroika” brought an end to the “iron curtain”, Dr. Lubnin was invited by Professor Kennedy to work in his labs as a Visiting Scientist. In 1995, he accepted an R&D position with the BFGoodrich Co., presently Lubrizol, where he is currently a Technical Fellow. Dr. Lubnin has ~80 publications including 25 granted patents.
