Sergei Ivanovich Shkuratov was born in Achinsk, USSR, on October
31, 1956. He received the Dipl. Phys. from the Tomsk Institute of
Automatic Control Systems and Radioelectronics, Tomsk, USSR, 1979; the
Ph.D. degree in physics from the Institute of High Current Electronics,
Tomsk, 1987; the Dipl. Senior Scientist in physical electronics from Institute
of Electrophysics, Ekaterinburg, 1991; the D.Sc. degree in physics from
Urals State Technical University, Ekaterinburg, 1996. From 1979 to
1986 he worked in the Institute of High Current Electronics, in Tomsk.
He studied the high-voltage breakdown in pulsed vacuum devices and the
threshold pulse current density of metallic tip emitters. In 1986
he joined the Institute of Electrophysics, in Ekaterinburg, where he has
been involved in experimental technology and improvement of techniques
of experimental data analysis for the investigations of atomically clean
HTSC surfaces by field ion/electron microscopy and spectroscopy.
His current research interests include discharges and electrical insulation
in vacuum, vacuum microelectronics science and technology, atomic structure
and electronic properties of materials determined with using atomically
resolved field emission and scanning tunneling microscopy methods.
Since 1995 he is President of the Physical and Astronomical Society.
