Director of the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN). Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences (elected May 30, 2025). Pioneered laser cooling of thulium atoms; led the developed a transportable optical clock based on single trapped Yb ion; led the creation of a 50-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer.

Scientific portfolio includes contributions to solving the "proton radius puzzle" through precision hydrogen spectroscopy, as well as researching thulium-based optical clocks. Research interests cover frequency standarts, quantum computing and quantum memristors. Head of the "Optics for Complex Quantum Systems" laboratory.

Graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in 2015, specializing in astrophysics. Joined the group during PhD study. Received his PhD in 2020. Developed double EIT cooling approach for the Yb ion. Has extensive experimental experience especially in the design and manufacture of 3D and surface ion traps, as well as custom vacuum chambers. Other areas of interest include lithography and aeromodelling.

Received his PhD in 2022. Has broad competence in both theory and experiment. Pushes forward qidut approach to scale-up ion platform. Expert in software development for experimental setup hardware manipulation. Research focus on quantum algorithms.

Received his PhD in 2022. Brilliant experimentalist. Brought huge impact for the development of the first Russian 50-qubit quantum computer. Has no days off, never rests.

Received his PhD in 2024. Has extensive knowledge of ultrafast two-qubit gates. Is an expert in electrical engineering and programming.

Has expertise in ultrastable laser systems. Responsible for the development of the cryogenic surface trap setup.
