Prof Vitaly Podzorov who has been recognized by PubPeer.
PubPeer is an online platform for reporting post-publication analysis of published papers with the lofty goal of rooting out errors, misconduct, and even fraud in the scientific literature. Valery and his colleagues have been active on this platform for the last few years and have discovered serious errors in a number of high-profile papers. Their review of a 2024 Nature paper revealed not only serious scientific errors but also a misconduct and serves as the basis for the award to Vitaly.
Rutgers Today has written a short article about Vitaly's work on PubPeer:
