Viktor Pustovalov
Victor Konstantinovich Pustovalov was born in Gomel, Belarus, on August 28, 1946. He pursued physics in Minsk and developed a scientific career in Belarusian research and higher-education institutions, combining theoretical physics, optical science, laser technology, and teaching.
Pustovalov studied physics at Belarusian State University in Minsk. He received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 1974 and a Doctor of Science degree in optics in 1991. His education provided the foundation for subsequent work in laser physics, nonlinear optics, optical modeling, and laser applications in medicine and technology.
Pustovalov began his professional career as a researcher at the Institute of Physics, where he worked from 1971 to 1973. He also worked as a senior researcher at Belarusian State University from 1972 to 1974. From 1980 he taught and conducted research at the Belarusian State Polytechnical Academy, first as an associate professor and, from 1992, as a full professor. Beginning in 1997, he headed the Department of Innovative Research of the Belarusian Institute of System Analysis. His later academic work has been associated with Belarusian National Technical University, where he has served as a head of department. His research has addressed laser interaction with biological tissues and matter, laser technologies, nonlinear optics, nanophotonics, optical and thermal properties of nanoparticles, laser heating and phase transformations, laser nanomedicine, and applications of laser radiation in medicine and engineering. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 publications.
Developed theoretical and computational models of laser interaction with biological tissues, including laser heating, coagulation, thermodenaturation, vapor generation, and treatment-related processes in ophthalmology.
Contributed to the development of laser applications in medicine and technology through research on laser–matter interaction, laser nanomedicine, nonlinear optics, and laser technologies.
Investigated the optical, thermal, melting, evaporation, fragmentation, and photothermal behavior of metallic and core–shell nanoparticles under laser irradiation.
Developed laser applications for medicine and technology, including the use of nanoparticles in photothermal treatment and related diagnostic processes.
Developed and patented methods for laser cladding of metal powders.
