Mikhail (Misha) Yu. Ivanov (born 21 October 1964) is a Russian–Canadian theoretical physicist who has worked in attosecond science, ultrafast laser spectroscopy and quantum optics.
Early life and education
Ivanov earned an M.Sc. with distinction in mathematical physics from Moscow State University in 1987 and completed his Ph.D. in physics at the Alexander Prokhorov General Physics Institute in Moscow in 1989.
Career
From 1989 to 1992, Ivanov worked at the General Physics Institute in Moscow before joining the National Research Council of Canada, where he held research positions from 1992 to 2008. He served as Professor and Chair of Physics at Imperial College London (2008–2012). In 2012 he joined the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin.
Research
Ivanov has worked on high-harmonic generation[1] and attosecond physics.[2]
He researched attosecond dynamic imaging using laser-driven recollision electron wavepackets, enabling sub-femtosecond and sub-ångström resolution of molecular dynamics.[3] Ivanov also worked on attosecond high-harmonic spectroscopy in solids, including studies of transitions in Mott insulators, topological insulator, and sub-cycle band-structure control.
His recent work includes proposals for generating bright, strongly squeezed XUV light via harmonic generation.[4]
