معرفی
Andrei Golov is a Professor of Condensed Matter Physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. He has held this position since August 1, 2009, and serves as the head of the Low Temperature Physics Group. His academic journey began at the Kolmogorov Special Boarding School for Physics and Mathematics at Moscow State University (1975-1977), followed by studies at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1977-1983), where he earned his MSc in Solid State Physics. He completed his PhD in 1989 at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences.
Golov's primary research focuses on quantum fluids, particularly superfluid 3He and 4He. His work examines quantized vortices, topological defects, and quantum turbulence in these systems. He investigates the properties of turbulent superfluid 4He at zero temperature, where thermal excitations become irrelevant, with particular interest in the dynamics of tangles of vortex lines, their wavy behavior, and reconnections. More recently, his research has expanded to include properties of mobile dislocations in solid helium at temperatures below 100 mK.
Analysis of Golov's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on quantum turbulence in superfluid helium systems, with particular emphasis on vortex dynamics, numerical modeling, and experimental techniques for studying these quantum phenomena. His work spans both theoretical and experimental approaches, with publications appearing in journals such as Journal of Low Temperature Physics, New Journal of Physics, and Physical Review Fluids.
Golov maintains an active research group and welcomes postgraduate students to join his ongoing research projects, particularly on turbulence in superfluid 4He in the T=0 limit. He has supervised eight postgraduate students throughout his career and leads the Low Temperature Physics Group at Manchester, which conducts research in quantum fluids and related phenomena.
