Mikhail Yevgenyevich Shaposhnikov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mikhail Evgenjewitsch Schaposhnikov ( Russian Михаил Евгеньевич Шапошников , English transcription Mikhail E. Shaposhnikov ; * 1956 in Sochi ) is a Russian theoretical physicist who teaches in Lausanne . He deals with cosmology and astro-particle physics.

Life

Shaposhnikov graduated from Lomonosov University in 1979 with a degree in physics and received his PhD in 1982 from the Institute for Nuclear Research (INR) of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow with a thesis on the creation of baryon asymmetry in the Great Unified Theory . Then he worked there as a scientist. From 1991 to 1998 he was in the theory department at CERN . In 1998 he became Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Lausanne and in 1999 Director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics. In 2003 he became a professor at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he heads the laboratory for particle physics and cosmology.

In 1985, in an influential work with Vadim Alexejewitsch Kusmin and Valeri Anatoljewitsch Rubakow , he clarified the conditions under which an explanation of the baryon number violation in the Standard Model is possible.

He received the Andrei Sakharov Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2009 he received the Humboldt Research Award and was thus at Heidelberg University . In 2005 he received the Markow Prize with Rubakow .
