Pavel Aleksandrovich Belov (; born 18 December 1977 in Ust-Ilimsk), is a Russian physicist, who is the head of The International Research Centre for Nanophotonics and Metamaterials at ITMO University and dean of the School of Engineering of New Uzbekistan University in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Education After finishing Saint Petersburg Lyceum 30, Pavel Belov graduated with honors from the ITMO University in 2000. He defended his PhD thesis twice: from ITMO University in Russia in 2003 with the thesis "Analytical modeling of electromagnetic crystals", and then in Finland in 2006 at the Helsinki University of Technology with the thesis "Analytical modeling of metamaterials and new principle of sub-wavelength imaging". In November 2010 he received doctor of science degree for his thesis "Analytical modeling of electromagnetic crystals and left-handed materials".

International Dennis Gabor Award
The International Dennis Gabor Award (1993–2010) was established by the NOVOFER Foundation of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences to recognize scientific achievements with practical applications. It was named after Nobel Prize laureate Dennis Gabor. The award acknowledged individuals whose work demonstrated significant impact in applied science and innovation. Each award included a 160 cm-diameter pure silver medal with a hologram of Dennis Gabor’s portrait, a charter of honor, and a monetary prize. It was typically granted to both a Hungarian and a non-Hungarian researcher and was awarded approximately every three years, depending on the selection process and candidate pool. The award aimed to identify researchers with a similarly successful career path as Dennis Gabor. Because of the high prestige of this award and the broad research area covered, selection of the awardee was highly competitive, particularly among non-Hungarian candidates. The award ceremony took place at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ust-Ilimsk
Ust-Ilimsk ( rus, Усть-Илимск, p=usʲtʲ ɪˈlʲimsk) is a town in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Angara River. Population: 53,000 (1977). History An '' ostrog'' (fortress) was built on the present site of the town in the 17th century; however, the modern town was not founded until 1966, during the construction of the Ust-Ilimsk Hydroelectric Power Station, which backs up both the Angara and the Ilim Rivers, and, incidentally, flooded the old town of Ilimsk, which was located further up the Ilim. The region was the site of one of the most notorious gulags of the 1930s ; tens of thousands died in the camp . Town status was granted to it in 1973; the dam was completed in 1980. Administrative and municipal status Within the framework of administrative divisions, Ust-Ilimsk serves as the administrative center of Ust-Ilimsky District,Law #49-OZ even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Photonic Crystal
A photonic crystal is an optical nanostructure in which the refractive index changes periodically. This affects the propagation of light in the same way that the structure of Crystal structure, natural crystals gives rise to X-ray crystallography, X-ray diffraction and that the atomic lattices (crystal structure) of semiconductors affect their conductivity of electrons. Photonic crystals occur in nature in the form of structural coloration and animal reflectors, and, as artificially produced, promise to be useful in a range of applications. Photonic crystals can be fabricated for one, two, or three dimensions. One-dimensional photonic crystals can be made of thin film layers deposited on each other. Two-dimensional ones can be made by photolithography, or by drilling holes in a suitable substrate. Fabrication methods for three-dimensional ones include drilling under different angles, stacking multiple 2-D layers on top of each other, direct laser writing, or, for example, instig ...

International Union Of Radio Science
The International Union of Radio Science (abbreviated ''URSI'', after its French name, ) is one of 26 international scientific unions affiliated to the International Council for Science (ICSU). History and objectives URSI was officially created in 1919, during the Constitutive Assembly of the International Research Council (now ICSU), based on the earlier (1913–1914) when the only radio communication system was radiotelegraphy. It has held a general assembly every three years from 1922. Fifty years ago URSI was one of the most important promoters of the International Geophysical Year. In addition to publishing the open access journal ''URSI Radio Science Letters'', it sponsors the journals '' Advances in Radio Science'', '' Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics'', and '' Radio Science'', last of which is co-sponsored by the American Geophysical Union. URSI's original objective (to encourage "scientific studies of radiotelegraphy, especially those which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
IEEE Microwave Theory And Techniques Society
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an American 501(c)(3) public charity professional organization for electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and other related disciplines. The IEEE has a corporate office in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. The IEEE was formed in 1963 as an amalgamation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. History The IEEE traces its founding to 1884 and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In 1912, the rival Institute of Radio Engineers was formed. Although the AIEE was initially larger, the IRE attracted more students and was larger by the mid-1950s. The AIEE and IRE merged in 1963. The IEEE is headquartered in New York City, but most business is done at the IEEE Operations Center in Piscataway, New Jersey, opened in 1975. The Australian Section of the IEEE existed between 1972 and 1985, after which it split into state- and te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
