Biography: Prof. EVGENY M. DIANOV is Scientific Director of the Fiber Optics Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
He graduated from Moscow State University in 1960 and began his scientific career in the P.N.Lebedev Physical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1960-1983), then worked in the General Physics Institute (1983-2006) and in the Fiber Optics Research Center of RAS (2006- present). He received the Ph.D. degree in Physical and Quantum Electronics in 1966 and the Doctor of Science degree in Physics in 1974. In 1994 Prof. Dianov became a Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
His research interests include fiber optics, laser physics and nonlinear optics and he has published more than 800 scientific papers and patents. He received the State Prize of the Soviet Union for “Neodymium Glass Lasers” in 1974 and the State Prize of Russia for “Infrared Fibers” in 1998, Vavilov Gold Medal in 2015 “For the investigation of nonlinear processes in optical fibers and creation of optical fiber sources of radiation based on nonlinear phenomena for visible and near IR spectral regions” and John Tyndall Award in 2017 “For pioneering leadership in optical fiber development and outstanding contributions to nonlinear fiber optics and optical fiber amplifiers.”
Prof. Dianov is a Member of IEEE, ACerS, MRS, a Fellow of OSA.
