Alexander Shkurinov, Ph.D. (1988, Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU)) is a Doctor of Physics and Math Sciences (Habilitation) (2013, Prokhorov General Physics Institution, RAS, Moscow), Professor with the Department of Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State Universality (MSU), and Head of the Laboratory of Terahertz Optoelectronics and Spectroscopy at MSU. Alexander Shkurinov is a leading world-recognized scientist in the field of terahertz spectroscopy. Alexander Shkurinov’s research interests include the application of pico- and femtosecond laser techniques for time-resolved spectroscopy of various objects, including complex molecules. Alexander Shkurinov was the first to experimentally develop and apply the Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) technique to the study of biological molecules. He was the first to experimentally observe and explain theoretically the fourth-order optical nonlinearity due to molecular chirality. Alexander Shkurinov pioneered the development of the time-domain spectroscopy technique using terahertz radiation. Currently, he is one of the leading scientists in this research field. Alexander Shkurinov has published more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
