Alexander Nikolayevich Petschen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Nikolajewitsch Petschen , English transcription Alexander Nikolayevich Pechen, Russian Александр Николаевич Печень , (born January 26, 1979 in Moscow ) is a Russian physicist and mathematician . In 2009 he was awarded the Blavatnik Prize for Young Scientists (USA) and in 2016 he was elected professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences among around 500 top Russian researchers under the age of fifty.

Professional career

Petschen graduated in physics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2001 with honors, while drawing on theoretical physics had specialized. He received his doctorate in 2004 and completed his habilitation in 2014. He deals with quantum mechanics , quantum control , statistical mechanics , open quantum systems and mathematical physics .

From 2000 to 2003 Petschen was a visiting researcher at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome and from 2005 to 2010 at the Chemistry Department of Princeton University , where he found out that it is possible to apply a unified mathematical treatment for a wide range of control phenomena in open systems develop. The control of open quantum systems is of great importance for applications, since atoms and molecules almost always interact significantly with their environment in practice. Working at Princeton earned him the Blavatnik Prize.

From 2011 to 2013 he worked as a Marie Curie fellow for the international ACOLA project at the Institute for Chemical Physics of the Weizmann Institute for Sciences in Israel . His work focused on the analysis of quantum control landscapes. Together with DJ Tannor, he made a distinction between kinematic and dynamic critical points and demonstrated the capture behavior of quantum control systems.

He is currently a member of the Steklov Institute for Mathematics in Moscow; From 2016 to 2019 he headed the Laboratory for Mathematical Methods for Quantum Technologies, which was added to a department of the same name under his direction in 2019. He is also a member of the National University of Science and Technology (MISiS) in Moscow. From 2013 to 2016 he was academic secretary of the Steklov Institute and he is also a member of the Council of the Steklov Institute and MISiS.

Since 2014 Petschen has been a member of the coordination council of the federal research program 2013-2020 in Russia . From 2014 to 2018 he was the coordinator of the research project “Contemporary Mathematics and its Applications” (approx. 120 participants) at the Stekov Institute.

Since 2015 he has also been the academic secretary of the National Committee of Mathematicians of Russia. Together with Arkady Dvorkovich , Sergei Kisljakow , Andrei Okunkow , Stanislaw Smirnow and Viktor Wassiljew he was a member of the Russian delegation to the General Assembly of the International Mathematical Union 2018 in São Paulo , Brazil. The delegation submitted an application for the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians in Saint Petersburg , which was successful. Alexander Petschen is a member of the organizing committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2022 in Saint Petersburg.
