Biographical Sketch Vadim V. Lozovoy:
Vadim V. Lozovoy was born in Novosibirsk, USSR. He received his MS degree in physics from Novosibirsk State University in 1983, where he studied ion radicals and their reactions in solutions using positron annihilation and Optical Detected Electron Spin Resonance of ion pairs. He received his PhD degree in physics and mathematics from the Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion Academy of Science USSR in 1989. His dissertation research involved the discovery of fast energy transfer by excitons in liquid cyclic hydrocarbons using a picosecond pulse radiolysis system and picosecond streak camera registration built with his active participation.
From 1991 to 1998 he worked in the Institute of Chemical Physics Russian Academy of Science in Moscow. He was leader in the creation of a femtosecond laser system, for the intra - cavity laser spectroscopy absorption and fluorescence of a supersonic jet. He guided a group of students in experiments of ultrafast chemical dynamics in gas and condensed phases and made theoretical analyses of the coherent intramolecular dynamics.
In 1999 he joined Marcos Dantus’ laboratory at Michigan State University, where he was initially involved in the experimental study of laser control of chemical reactions using a four-wave mixing technique, and later focused on the theoretical interpretation of results. Currently, he is an academic specialist, concentrates on control of physical-chemical processes using shaped femtosecond pulses.
As of November 2015, he is an author on more than 130 publications, with about 4000 citations. According to Google Scholar his h-index is 34 (34 publications of his have at least 34 citations).
Since 2003 he has been collaborating with the hi-tech start-up company Biophotonic Solutions Inc. He is an inventor of 16 issued and active US patents.
He is a history buff, particularly of the period of the Roman Republic 509-42 BC. He is a big fan of outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, mountain climbing and SCUBA diving.
