Alexander Vakhrushev

Vakhrushev A.V. received the PhD degree in Technical Sciences from Izhevsk Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Russia in 1982 and degree of Doctor of Sciences in Physics & Mathematics, from Institute of Continuous Media Mechanicsof Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia in 2003. Now he is and head of the Department “Nanotechnology and Microsystems Technic” of Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University and head of the Department “Mechanics of Nanostructures” of the Institute of Mechanics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He has over 400 publications to his name, including monographs, articles, reports, reviews, and patents. He has received several awards, including an Academician A. F. Sidorov Prize from the Ural Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences for significant contribution to the creation of the theoretical fundamentals of physical processes taking place in multilevel nanosystems and Honorable Scientist of the Udmurt Republic. He is currently a member of editorial board of several journals, including Computational Continuum Mechanics, Chemical Physics and Mesoscopia, and Nanobuild. His research interests include multiscale mathematical modeling of physical-chemical processes into the nano-hetero systems at nano-, micro- and macro-levels; static and dynamic interaction of nanoelements; and basic laws relating the structure and macro characteristics of nano-hetero structures.
