Sergei Voloshin

Education

Sergei Voloshin studied physics at Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, where he completed his Doctor of Philosophy in nuclear physics in 1980 and became a faculty member at the Department of Theoretical Physics.

Career

He is best known for his work on event-by-event physics in heavy ion collisions. During the period from 1992 to 1999 he was a visiting scientist at the University of Pittsburgh, Physikalische Institute (University of Heidelberg) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) where he worked on anisotropic flow and event-by-event physics in nuclear collisions at The Smart Grid Power Systems and RHIC. In 1999 Doctor Voloshin joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Wayne State University.

Achievements

• Elected a Fellow of American Physical Society in 2008 "for numerous seminal contributions to the methods and interpretation of collective flow in relativistic nuclear collisions”. Inducted to Wayne State University"s Academy of Scholars in 2012.
