Oleg A. Mukhanov

Oleg A. Mukhanov (born or ) is an IEEE fellow. He is the co-inventor of SFQ digital technology; he authored and co-authored over 200 scientific papers and holds 24 patents. He is American and resides in the United States.
Early life and education.
Mukhanov received his bachelor’s degree at the National Research Nuclear University/Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, and he received his M.S. in electrical engineering with honors there in 1983. He earned his Ph.D. in physics from Moscow State University in 1988.
Career.
Mukhanov has over 200 scientific publications including 3 book chapters, 141 peer-reviewed articles and 41 conference papers. He has 24 published and pending patents. He has more than 30 years of experience in the field of superconducting electronics. He has led the development of another generation of energy-efficient single flux quantum technology and superconducting ferromagnetic and spintronic random-access memories for energy-efficient computing. He has also co-invented a digital RF architecture, and he led development of the world's first commercial use of superconducting computing, a cryocooled digital RF system based on RFSQ.
He was the president of the US Committee on Superconducting Electronics between 2005 and 2007. He is also an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity and is active in the IEEE Quantum Future Directions Initiative, and he has received the IEEE Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Small Scale Applied Superconductivity. He is also a member of the American Physical Society.
HYPRES.
Mukhanov joined HYPRES as Chief Technical Officer in 1991 to initiate the development of rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) superconductor circuit technology, which he co-invented in 1985 at Moscow State University when he was a PhD student. There, he led many projects on RSFQ-based circuits, including data processors, radio-frequency signal receivers, signal processors, and cryogenic interfaces for computing, wireless communications, radar, and electronic warfare. He was General Manager and Senior Vice-President there from April 1991 to May 2013.
HyPR.
Mukhanov worked as CTO and Senior Executive Vice-President of HyPR from May 2013 to 2019.
SeeQC.
Mukhanov is Chief Technical Officer, co-CEO and co-founder of SeeQC since May 2019. He was appointed as the director of SeeQC on , but he resigned on . At SeeQC, two of his colleagues include John Levy and Matthew Hutchings.
Awards and recognition.
Mukhanov was appointed as an IEEE Fellow in 2012 for leadership in research and development of superconducting digital electronics.
Mukhanov was the recipient of The IEEE Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Small Scale Applied Superconductivity in 2015.
He received the IEEE Council on Superconductivity (CSC) Outstanding Service Recognition for service as an editor of Special Issues of IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.
Personal life.
Mukhanov lives in Putnam Valley, New York and has for about the past year, although he also lived in Massachusetts. He is married to Irina B. Mukhanov.
