Biography

Dmitry Shirkov graduated from the Faculty of Physics at the Moscow State University (MSU) in 1949. In 1954 he obtained PhD degree (Candidate of Sciences) in the area of theory of neutron diffusion. In 1958 he defended his doctoral dissertation "Renormalization group method in quantum field theory" and obtained Doktor nauk (Doctor of Sciences) degree.

In 1972—1992 he was appointed as Professor at the department of Quantum Statistics and Field Theory at the MSU Faculty of Physics. Since 1992 he is a Professor at the department of High Energy Physics.

He worked in Steklov Institute of Mathematics in the period 1952—1958 and in the Mathematical Institute of Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the period 1960—1969. Since 1969 he works at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), and since 1971 also at the Moscow State University. He was the head of the Theoretical Physics Laboratory at JINR (1993—1997), where currently he is the Honorary Director.

Dmitry Shirkov was an Invited Nobel Professor at Lund University, Sweden (1970—1971). He became a corresponding member of USSR Academy of Sciences in 1960 and an academician of Russian Academy of Sciences in 1994.

Dmitry Shirkov was the initiator and the editor for a series of monographs «Books in Theoretical Physics» by Nauka (Science) Publishing Company (1978—1990). He is a jury president for the Bogoliubov Prize for young scientists.

Research

Main works of Dmitry Shirkov were devoted to quantum field theory, theory of superconductivity, approximate methods in the theory of slow neutrons, dynamics of strongly interacting particles at low energies, etc. He constructed, jointly with Nikolay Bogoliubov, an axiomatic pertrubation method for quantum field theory (1954—1958) and developed renormalization group method (1955—1956). He invented and developed the method of quantitative description of elastic and quasi-elastic hadron collisions at low energies (1959—1970).
