Yuri Tsolakovich Oganessian (Russian: ???? ????????? ???????? ['j?r??j t?s?'lak?v??t?? ?g?n??'s?an]; born 14 April 1933) is a Russian-Armenian nuclear physicist who is considered the world's leading researcher in superheavy chemical elements.
He led the discovery of these elements in the periodic table.
He succeeded Georgy Flyorov as director of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in 1989 and is now its scientific leader.
