Igor Vladimirov

Dr. Igor Vladimirov is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Engineering, Australian National University. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics (1992) and an M.Sc. in Control Systems (1989) from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. His research focuses on quantum stochastic control, stochastic robust control, and mathematical systems theory, with applications to quantum memory systems and nonlinear dynamics.

Dr. Vladimirov has held academic positions at the University of Queensland (1997–2008), the Institute for Information Transmission Problems (1994–2007), and UNSW Canberra (2009–2016). He received the B.N. Petrov Prize (2013) and the European Control Conference Best Paper Award (2024). His work spans quantum control, stochastic systems, and statistical mechanics, with a focus on coherence preservation, robust filtering, and system stability.
