Prof. Dr. Vladimir M. Fomin serves as a Research Professor at the Institute for Integrative Nanoscience (IIN) within the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden. His academic career spans over 15 years with extensive contributions to nanostructured superconductors and topological materials. His research focuses on geometric control of superconductivity in 3D nanoarchitectures , specializing in vortex dynamics, topological transitions, and quantum effects in curved nanostructures. Key areas include superconducting nanotubes, quantum rings, and phonon engineering in nanomembranes. His work bridges theoretical modeling with experimental nanofabrication techniques. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals dominant trends in topology-driven superconductivity and geometric manipulation of quantum states . The research consistently explores how curvature and topology affect vortex matter, with applications in superconducting electronics and quantum computing. Sub-fields prominently featured include vortex ratchets, Shapiro steps, magneto-polaron resonances, and microwave generation in nanoscale systems. His scientific impact is evidenced by 64 journal papers, 9 contributed book chapters, 95 invited talks across 15+ countries, and 5 monographs. Notable speaking engagements include keynote addresses at IEEE-NANO 2022, K. Alex Müller Workshop (2023), and international seminars from Moscow to Busan. Prof. Fomin actively supervises PhD projects in geometric control of superconductivity and collaborates globally with institutions including Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Pusan National University, and Argonne National Laboratory. His research group develops advanced simulation frameworks for curved nanostructures while maintaining strong experimental partnerships for nanofabrication and characterization. He leads research on catalytic micro/nanoengines and superconducting vortex matter, with recent work focusing on reconfigurable 3D superconducting architectures and topological transitions in ac/dc-driven systems. Current projects involve quantum interference phenomena in non-ideal mesoscopic rings and phonon spectrum engineering in rolled-up nanostructures.
