Dr. Igor Ostrovskii is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Mississippi, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts. His office is located in 207 Lewis Hall, and he can be reached at iostrov@phy.olemiss.edu or (662) 915-1536. He is actively involved in research and teaching across undergraduate and graduate physics programs, including courses such as Solid State Physics, Modern Physics, and Radiation Science.
Dr. Ostrovskii earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics from Kiev University in 1984 (awarded in 1982). Prior to joining the University of Mississippi, he held several academic positions at Kiev Shevchenko University, including Professor and Chair of the Department of General Physics, and was a Soros Professor of Physics.
His research lies in the domain of Condensed Matter Physics, with a focus on acoustoelectric and nonlinear acoustic phenomena in ferroelectric materials. Key areas include the propagation of acoustic waves in multidomain ferroelectrics, acoustical memory effects, sonoluminescence in crystals, and nanoscale acoustics. His work has applications in ultrasonics, medical technologies, and communications.
Dr. Ostrovskii's research is supported by laboratory facilities in Lewis Hall and the National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA), with additional collaborative access to a Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy lab at the College of Charleston. Although no recent publications are listed in the provided text, his research directions indicate a strong, ongoing experimental focus in acoustics and solid-state materials.
