Educational Background: Ph.D. Thermal Physics / Engineering, at Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (Technical University), Moscow, Russia, March 1997; thesis: "Theoretical analysis and computer simulation of thermal processes in pool-cooled superconducting magnet systems under quench". M.Sc. Engineering Physics, at Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (Technical University), Technical Physics Dept., Cryogenics Laboratory of Chair of Thermal Physics for Nuclear Power Installations, Moscow, USSR, March 1983 (Summa Cum Laude).
Research Interests: Magnet Science & Technology - mostly, Large Scale Application of Superconductivity (LTS and HTS superconducting magnets), and also resistive dc and pulse magnets: magnet design and design optimizing, theoretical analysis and complex computer simulation, particularly, through the finite element and finite difference methods (quench & quench protection, normal zone propagation, stability margins, 2D & 3D static and transient electromagnetic, thermal, complex thermo-hydraulic and stress analyses, magnetic field calculations, current power lead design study & optimizing, heat transfer and conductance, fluid mechanics, other related problems), applied mathematics & numerical methods; favorite software for computer simulation: ANSYS (with APDL), Fortran (FPS - CVF), MATLAB.
Professional Experience: Joined the NHMFL in December of 1999 as an Assistant Scientist (Associate Scientist from August 01, 2004), working mostly on design and design optimizing, including stress, electromagmetic and thermal analyses, of diverse pulse high field magnets (mainly for Los Alamos National Lab: 55T, 60T, 65T, 75T, "quick cool" pulse magnets, Repetitively Pulsed Magnet); was/is involved in a number of projects on innovative superconducting magnet R&D such as 900 MHz Ultra-wide Bore NMR, Sweeper magnet, Series Connected Hybrids, HTS/LTS hybrid magnets, and others. International level of expertise in quench propagation & protection, analytical study of current power leads, thermal, thermo-hydraulic, electromagnetic, stress analyses and design of diverse superconducting and resistive magnet systems.

Participated, both on my own and teamed up, in international collaboration with research groups from companies and scientific centers of Europe (UK, France, Holland, Germany), USA, and Asia (Japan, China, India, Korea), 1991-2009. Touched on a number of large, high risk, internationally prominent and scientifically important projects, such as: - Tokamak T-15 Magnet System, USSR (superconductivity stability analysis), - Large Helical Device (LHD), Japan (stability & quench analysis; identified and re-determined the serviceability limit for the LHD Helical Coils), - ATLAS Magnet, CERN - Switzerland / France (quench protection & detection systems development), - Tokamak HT-7U, China (stability & quench preliminary analysis), - Wendelstein 7-X, Germany (analytical and engineering design study of current power leads), - 900 MHz Ultra-Wide Bore NMR Magnet System at the NHMFL, USA (quench, quench venting and mechanical analyses), - Development of Pulse Magnet Technology beyond 50T (55-100T magnets) for Los Alamos National Lab at the NHMFL (analysis and design), - Series Connected Hybrid Magnets and LTS/HTS hybrid magnets at the NHMFL (analysis and design). Professional magnet designer, magnet analyst, engineer-physicist and programmer. Also experienced in computer simulation and analysis in some areas different from Magnet Science & Technology (background in thermal physics, heat and mass transfer, thermohydraulics, heat transmission, mechanics, electromagnetism, applied mathematics, and so on). Recent personal significant contribution to analysis in Large Scale Application of Superconductivity area : - developed highly accurate methods for computer simulation and theoretical analysis of normal zone propagation and quench in pool-cooled superconducting magnets in topologically complex situations (1992-1998); repeatedly used in national and international projects (1991-2009); - developed fast methods for quench propagation detailed analysis in superconducting coils wound with large cross-section conductors (with long current diffusion times); directly applied to Large Helical Device (Japan) and ATLAS Magnets (CERN, Switzerland) (1998-1999); to Cryogenics : - one of the co-authors of the concept of over-loaded resistive current power leads (developed in 1995 at Kurchatov Institute - Russia, 2000 at the NHMFL); this type was planned to be used in German Wendelstein 7-X and Korean STAR magnet systems for fusion experiments; to Magnet Science & Technology : - invented a Bitter-type tilted coil magnet for high (over 20T) uniform transverse field generation in a large volume of space (2000 at the NHMFL), US patent awarded; - participated in concept development of wire-wound tilted coil superconducting and tilted coil resistive magnets for high, uniform transverse field generation (1995 at Kurchatov Institute - Russia, 2002-2005 at the NHMFL). Publications: authored or co-authored 50+ peer-reviewed articles in English, 2 USA patents awarded, 1 USA patent pending; plus, a big number of technical and scientific reports and presentations, and papers in Russian as well. Also, contributed to one book (published in 2006). Conferences and simposia: works were presented at 30+ international conferences and workshops; personally attended 20 international conferences and workshops in USA, Japan and Europe, where repeatedly served as a session chair and paper reviewer (since 1992). Also had the honor of judging manuscripts submitted to Cryogenics, IEEE Trans. Applied Supercond., and IEEE Trans. Magn. (both periodic issues and conference proceedings), and Journal of Low Temperature Physics.
