Sasha Alexandrov

Sasha Alexandrov received the M.S. degree (with first-class honor), Ph.D. degree, and D.S. degree—the highest postgraduate academic degree—in theoretical physics from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in 1970, 1973, and 1984, respectively. From 1973 to 1990, he was an Associate Professor, Full Professor, Dean of Theoretical and Experimental Physics Faculty, Head of General Physics Department, and a Vice-Rector of the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Russia. He was a Visiting Professor at the Rhein-Westfalische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen, Germany, from 1990 to 1992, and a Research Professor at IRC in Superconductivity, Cavendish, University of Cambridge, UK, from 1992 to 1995. In 1995 he was appointed to a Chair of theoretical physics at the Department of Physics at Loughborough University, UK, where he was the Head of Physics Department from 1998 to 2001. He is currently a Professor of theoretical physics at the Department of Physics at Loughborough University. Professor Alexandrov extended the conventional (BCS) theory of superconductivity towards the strong-coupling regime, now known as the bipolaronic superconductivity, proposed a theory of colossal magnetoresistance and a theory of correlated transport through molecular quantum dots, developed the theory of charged Bose-liquids, and predicted novel quantum magneto-oscillations in low-dimensional metals and nanowires. He was the first Mott By-Fellow of Gonville and Caius College (University of Cambridge, UK), and published 6 books, three of them coauthored with the Nobel Prize Laureate Sir Nevill Mott. Professor Alexandrov is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP, London) and a Member of APS. He was the Codirector of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (2003), a Scientific Convenor of the European Science Foundation (ESF) Workshop (2006), and a Guest Editor for special issues of Physica C (2004) and of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter (2007).
