Dr. Oleg N. Kirillov

Oleg Kirillov is Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK. He received his MSc in Physics and Mathematics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He got his PhD in Theoretical Mechanics from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia. As a JSPS fellow he was working at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Kyushu in Japan. With a Humboldt Fellowship he was a visiting scholar at the University of Hannover, Technical University of Darmstadt, and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Germany. In 2010-2015 he worked in the Magnetohydrodynamics Division of the Institute of Fluid Dynamics of HZDR and in 2015-2016 in Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Russia. He is an Associate Editor for the journals “Frontiers in Physics” and “Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics“. Since 2018 he is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications: IMA.

Applied mathematics is his main research interest with the emphasis on stability and dynamics of dissipative and non-conservative systems, dissipation-induced instabilities and related spectral problems in a broad range of applications: from multi-body dynamics to magnetohydrodynamics, acoustics, and crystal optics. Together with Paul Binding, Thomas Bridges, Igor Hoveijn, Yasuhide Fukumoto, and Dmitry Pelinovsky he has organized a very successful BIRS Research Workshop on Spectral Analysis, Stability and Bifurcation in Modern Nonlinear Physical Systems in 2012. A collection of selected articles from the participants of the Workshop edited by Oleg Kirillov and Dmitry Pelinovsky has been published by Wiley in the book “Nonlinear Physical Systems: Spectral Analysis, Stability and Bifurcations” in 2014.

The monograph “Nonconservative Stability Problems of Modern Physics” by Oleg Kirillov has been published by De Gruyter in the series “De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical Physics” in 2013.

In April 2017 Davide Bigoni and Oleg Kirillov organize a CISM–AIMETA Advanced School “Dynamic stability and bifurcation in nonconservative mechanics” in Udine, Italy. The lecturers are Davide Bigoni (Italy), Olivier Doare (France), Oleg Kirillov (Russia), Andrei Metrkine (Netherlands), Oliver O’Reilly (USA), and Andy Ruina (USA).
