Roberts Eglitis (born February 1, 1966) in Riga, Latvia is a latvian physicist. Senior researcher at the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia. In 2020 Roberts Eglitis was elected as a Full member of Latvian Academy of Sciences. He is notable for his research in theoretical solid state physics. In 2016, he was awarded the Latvian Academy of Sciences E. Silinsh Prize for work cycle "Theoretical investigation of technologically important materials". In 2020, he received the Baltic Assembly Prize in science for his work cycle "Theoretical predictions of new materials for energy storage and harvesting" [1]. Roberts Eglitis is the author and co-author of more than 160 scietifical papers in refereed scientifical journals. His Hirsch index is thirthy five (H = 35). Roberts Eglitis first in the world theoretically predicted a possibility to design a high energy 5 Volt rechargeable Li-ion battery using as a battery cathode material Li2CoMn3O8 [2]. In 2019 Roberts Eglitis, together with J. Purans, J. Kleperis, A. Popov and Ran Jia got the Award from the Latvian Academy of Sciences for the most significant achievement of Latvian Science in 2019 "Theoretical calculations of new materials for the energy harvesting and storage" [3].
