The paper is written to pay a tribute to Prof. Alexander Leonidovich Ivanovskii, Head of the Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy Laboratory at the Institute of Solid State Chemistry, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), and is devoted to recalling the most signi cant landmarks in his scienti c career. A broad-minded man of great erudition, A. L. Ivanovskii made invaluable contributions in the eld of computational materials science | a new eld of research covering computational modeling for properties of existing substances and for compounds yet to be synthesized, including nanostructured materials. Under his leadership, a group of young, talented researchers have grown to become specialists in the electronic structure simulation and computational modeling to predict the properties of solids, which formed a unique school of thought in the eld of quantum chemistry and spectroscopy research in the Urals.

Keywords: Superconductors, nanostructures, carbon allotropes, MAX phases, refractory materials, magnetic materials, computational chemistry.
