Laureate of the prestigious international Science Leader award (2017) in physical and technical sciences awarded jointly by Clarivate Company and the Agency for Science and Technology of Uzbekistan for 41 scientific publications in WebofScience journals over the past 10 years. Laureate of the TWAS international award for scientific publications (2016). Laureate of the Prize of Young Scientists of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences (2001). Laureate of the award for the best scientific article of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences (2010). In 2007, Kh. K. Olimov won the NATO reintegration grant under the "Science for Peace" program. In 2008, he won a competition for a grant for basic research conducted by young scientists of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences. In 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, he received the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology Award (Islamabad, Pakistan) for scientific publications in international journals. H index = 11.

 He graduated from the Physics Department of the Tashkent State University (now the National University of Uzbekistan) in 1998. From 1999 to 2002 he studied at the full-time post-graduate course of the Physics and Technology Institute of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences. From 2003 to 2006 he was on a long scientific trip and conducted research at the Institute of Physics of the University of Bonn (Germany). From 2006 to 2010 he worked as a senior researcher at the High Energy Physics Laboratory of the Physics and Technology Institute of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences. From 2010 to 2015 he worked as Foreign Professor and Professor of the Physics Faculty of COMSATS University (COMSATS IIT) in Islamabad (Pakistan). Since 2015, he gives lectures on physics to students of the Inha International University in Tashkent and conducts research as a senior and leading (since 2017) researcher at the High Energy Physics Laboratory of the Physics and Technology Institute of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences.

 Areas of research: Processes of nuclear fragmentation in interactions with nucleons and nuclei at high energies. Collective effects in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies. Properties (temperature, etc.) of highly excited nuclear (hadronic) matter formed in central collisions of relativistic nuclei. Evolution of nuclear (hadronic) matter, depending on the masses of colliding nuclei, centrality and collision energy.

Publications: He has more than 100 scientific publications, including 50 publications in internationally renowned scientific journals (PhysicalReview C, TheEuropeanPhysicalJournal A, JournalofPhysics, InternationalJournalofModernPhysics E, PhysicsofAtomicNuclei (Nuclear Physics)) and 7 articles in local (Uzbek) physics journals. He published one textbook and one monograph in Germany.
Under Kh.K.Olimov’s supervision two PhD dissertations (ImranKhan, COMSATS IIT, Islamabad, Pakistan, 2014 - supervisor, ShakeelMahmood, COMSATS IIT, Islamabad, Pakistan, 2015 - co-supervisor), two master's theses (SayyedAghaHadi 2013, AkhtarIqbal 2012, COMSATS IIT, Islamabad, Pakistan) were defended.
