Yuri S. Kivshar (born in Ukrainian SSR, USSR), Australian Scientist, distinguished professor, head of Nonlinear Physics Centre of The Australian National University (ANU) (Canberra, Australia) and The International Research Centre for Nanophotonics and Metamaterials (St. Petersburg, Russia), Australian Federation Fellow[1].
Education
editYuri Kivshar was born in Kharkiv, Ukrain. He studied at Kharkiv school founded by nobel prize laureate Lev Landau. In 1984 he received Doctor of Philosophy degree and in 1989 aged 30 he became the youngest research fellow of Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering.
Career
editStarting from 1991 he worked as a scientist in USA, Finland, Spain, Germany[2] and in 1993 he was invited to the Optical Sciences Centre of Australia and later founded his own laboratory Nonlinear Physics Centre of ANU.
Starting from 2000 Yurii Kivshar worked in different fields of nonlinear optics and caried out research of solitons and metamaterials, nonlinear photonic crystal and composite materials theories.
He made fundamental impact into self-focusing effect [3][4][5], metamaterials[6][7][8], dielectric nanoantennas[9], topological insulators[10], optic signal processing and optic communications. He also discovered series of solitons and described their properties.
In 2010 Yurii Kivshar was invited to St. Petersburg, Russia in terms of government Megagrant program[11]. He became a scientific leader of the International Research Centre for Nanophotonics and Metamaterials of the ITMO University (Saint-Petersburg, Russia).
Publications
editProfessor Kivshar authored and co-authored more than 850 papers[12]. His h-index is 90[13]. His work has generated over 38,000 citations.
Awards
editThroughout his career he has received awards and has continued contributing to nonlinear optics and electrodynamics.
In 2014 Yuri Kivshar was awarded the Harrie Massey Medal and Prize at the recent AIP conference for his work in the field of nonlinear optics, metamaterials and metadevices[14] and Lebedev Medal for outstanding achievements in advancing laser science and engineering, facilitating the exchange of information and popularization of laser science[15].
