Bio:
Vladimir M. Fomin received his Ph.D. from the Moldova State University in 1978 and Dr. habil. from the Academy of Sciences of Moldova in 1990. Since 1991 Professor in Theoretical Physics at the Moldova State University (Chişinău, Republic of Moldova). Since 2009 Research Professor at the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences (IIN), Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW) Dresden (Germany). Awards: State Prize of Moldova 1987. Diploma of a Scientific Discovery of the Phenomenon of the Propagation of Spatially-Extended Interface Phonon Polaritons in Composite Superlattices (Academy of Natural Sciences of Russia, 1999). Medal “Academician P. L. Kapitsa” (Academy of Natural Sciences of Russia, 2000). Honorary Member of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova (2007). Scientific interests: theory of strain-induced self-rolled nanoarchitectures, topological effects in quantum rings and curved 3D micro-and nanoarchitectures, phase boundaries and vortex matter in micro-and nanoarchitectures and patterned superconductors, superconducting properties of metallic nanograins, phonons, vibrational excitations and polaronic effects in nanostructures, topological states of light and spin-orbit coupling in microcavities, optical properties of quantum dots, thermoelectric properties of semiconductor nanostructures.
