Sergey Skipetrov holds a PhD in physics from the Moscow State University. He is a permanent researcher of the French CNRS since 2001 and is the head of the Laboratory of Physics and Modelling of Condensed Matter (Grenoble) since 2021. He was awarded the CNRS bronze medal for his work on multiple scattering of light in 2006. Sergey’s scientific research concerns wave scattering in disordered media, including fundamental problems (Anderson localization, quantum optics, topological insulators) and applications (diffusing-wave spectroscopy, noninvasive imaging). He co-authored more than 100 scientific papers and organized numerous scientific meetings (including 4 summer schools) on these and related topics. Sergey’s main scientific contributions include the theoretical interpretation of experiments reporting the first observation of Anderson localization of ultrasound in 3D, the prediction of the impossibility of Anderson localization of light in 3D by point scatterers, and the application of the theory of Euclidean random matrices to wave scattering in disordered media.
