Education:

D.Sci. in Physics

Institute of Automation and Electrometry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia, 1989. (This degree is higher than the Ph.D. It typically requires 15 to 20 years of successful research and publication of at least 50 papers in refereed journals, and it is awarded to less than 1% of active Ph.D. scientists. A counterpart in Germany is Habilitation).

Ph.D. in Physics

Institute of Nuclear Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia, 1974. Graduate adviser: Prof. S.T.Belyaev, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (known for Belyaev's technique for interacting Bose fluids and for theory of nucleon superconductivity and collective excitations in nuclei).

M.S. in Physics (with Honors)

University of Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk, Russia, 1970.

Research

Theoretical Nanoplasmonics, Nanooptics, and Condensed Matter and Optical Physics Theory

The study includes theory of electronic, optical (especially, nonlinear-optical and ultrafast-optical) properties of nanostructured systems: nanoclusters and fractal clusters, metal/dielectric nanocomposites, nano-rough surfaces, and metal/semiconductor nanostructures. The study invokes various analytical methods and large-scale computer modeling. There is approximately 50-50% distribution of my work between analytical and numerical theory, which gives me a great “fair advantage”. But the most important are still the new ideas, which can be judged from the papers published (see LIST OF PUBLICATIONS  Section).

This research is supported by grants from the US Department of Energy (two grants), National Science Foundation, and US-Israel Binational Science Foundation. The total of MIS’s extramural funding currently is $856,500 (see GRANTS AND AWARDS  Section for details). MIS’s research group includes two Postdoctoral Associates and a graduate student.
