Biography

Ali Aliev was born in Tashkent to a Crimean Tatar family; they had been forcibly exiled to the Uzbek SSR as special-settlers (official second-class citizens) along with most of the Crimean Tatar population in the Surgun of May 1944. Despite numerous hardships, in 1973 his father Enver became a Hero of Socialist Labour for cotton production, but subsequently faced reprimand from party leaders for endorsing a letter requesting right of return to Crimea and was only able to return to his homeland in 1990.[4][3]

In 1977 he graduated with honors from the Radio Engineering faculty of Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics. 1984 he got his PhD in Molecular and Thermal Physics at the Uzbek Academy of Sciences. Thesis Title: "Study of the Fast Ionic Transport in rare-earth Fluorides". 1992 — Doctor of Science degree in Physics (Solid State Physics), Heat Physics Department of Uzbek Academy of Sciences. Thesis Title: "Relaxation Phenomena in Superionic Conductors". From 1988 till 2004 he worked at Heat Physics Department of Uzbek Academy of Sciences. In 1992—2004 he was the Head of the Physical Acoustic Research Laboratory of the named department. Since 2004 Aliev has been Research Professor at Alan MacDiarmid Nanotech Institute at University of Texas at Dallas.[3]

Ali Aliev is an author of more than 100 scientific articles and 13 patents in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, among them, for instance, a patent for a heat visibility cloak.[3][5]

Aliev is married to Elvira Umerova; they have two daughters.
