Professor Tsirelson works in Mendeleev University since 1975. His research efforts focus on study of the bonding in molecules and solids by quantum chemistry in the combination with X-ray and electron diffraction. He has developed of numerous experimental and calculation schemes and techniques for the study of the electronic, nonlinear optical and magnetic properties of the crystalline systems in terms of the electron density and electrostatic potential. His interests span a wide range of topics including characterization of the materials by the diffraction and quantum chemical methods, topological analysis of the atomic and molecular interactions, accurate X-ray and electron crystallography. He has produced more than 25 of the PhD and MSc. students successfully working now in the USA, Germany, Japan, Australia, Great Britain and Russia.
