Yuri Vladimirovich Trushin (, born 14 August 1945 in Leningrad) is Russian physicist and professor of Theoretical Physics of semiconductors. He is a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and has been recognized as an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation. Biography 1945 — born in Leningrad. 1969 — graduated from the Department of Physics at Leningrad State University (chair for Quantum Mechanics), and started his career in the Krylov State Research Center. Since 1974 — has been working at the Ioffe Institute, presently he is a chief scientist in the Department of theoretical microelectronics. 1975 — defended his Ph.D. thesis "Theory of radiation cascades in solid state" at Leningrad Polytechnical Institute. 1989 — defended his Doktor nauk (D.Sci.) thesis "Theory of radiation processes in solid solutions in various phases of dissociation" at Moscow Institute of Electronic Machine Building (MIEM), specialization in solid-state physics. Since 1991 — has been working as a professor in the Department of Nanotechnology at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University. Since 2004 — has been working as an academic secretary in the Department for Physics of Condensed Matter and Nanotechnology, and a chief scientist in the Nanotechnology Laboratory at Saint Petersburg Academic University, simultaneously with his employments at the Ioffe Institute and at the Polytechnical University. 2004 — was elected to full membership in the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (corresponding membership since 1999). 2008 — was awarded a title "Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation". Research activity Trushin's research interests include theory and computer modeling of physical processes, kinetics and evolution of structural defects, as well as radiation impact in multi-component crystalline materials, such as metals, semiconductors, and high-temperature materials.
