Research Interests

​Thanks to a classical chemical education, Dr. Maxim Yutkin is interested in both practical and experimental research. In his early career he has dedicated a lot of attention to synthetic coordination chemistry and in particular porous metal-organic frameworks. More recently, Yutkin is investigated the chemistry of fracturing fluids and their interactions with proppant and rock.

Professional Profile

  • ​In 2007 Maxim Yutkin graduated from Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of Siberian Branch of RAS with a diploma in Chemistry.  He stayed under the supervision of prof. Fedin to pursue his doctoral degree.  In 2011, after successful defense of his PhD thesis, Yutkin joined Division of Advanced Materials Science at Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea, as a Post-doctoral Fellow.
  • After Post-doctoral appointment Yutkin joined the Technology and Engineering Center of one of the world's leading Oil and Gas service companies. In 2015 having become focused on chemistry and surface interactions of fracturing fluids with reservoir he joined ANPERC at KAUST as a Research Scientist.
