Yuriy Polyakov

Yuriy Sergeyevich Polyakov (Russian: Юрий Сергеевич Поляков, born September 3, 1980 in Moscow, Soviet Union) is a Russian-American scientist at USPolyResearch. He is best known for his work in chemical engineering (theory of filtration processes, mathematical modeling of chemical reactors).

Biography

Polyakov wrote his first scientific paper when he was a freshman student at the Moscow State University of Environmental Engineering.
