Sergey V. Shitov

Sergey S. Shitov received the Diploma degree in physics from the Moscow State University, Moscow, U.S.S.R., in 1982. His research is oriented on nonlinear superconductor devices for electronic applications: Ph.D thesis (1992) is focused at practicable quantum-noise-limited SIS heterodyne mixers and receiver devices. His Ph.D and Dr. Sci. degrees in physics and mathematics are received from Institute of Radio-engineering and Electronics, Russian Academy of Sciences (IRE RAS), in 1992 and 2003 respectively. From 1992 till 2004, he was a member of Laboratory of Superconducting Devices for Signal Detection and Processing at IRE RAS, developing the Superconducting Integrated Receiver comprising a SIS mixer and a FFO Josephson oscillator along with a SQUID RF amplifier. From 2004 till 2009, he was on leave to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan developing ALMA Band-10 receiver system. His present research at IRE RAS includes superconducting ultra-low-noise ultra-low-temperature detectors for radio astronomy and superconducting metamaterials at the National University of Science and Technology MISIS. He has authored about 200 technical papers.
