С.В.Утюжников

Sergey V. Utyuzhnikov graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics & Technology (MIPT) in 1983 (with 1st class degree). In 1986, he got PhD in Computational Mathematics. Since 1986, he worked at MIPT as Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor. In 1997, he successfully defended DSc thesis “Numerical Modelling of Gas Flows Induced by Supersonic Motion of Bodies in the Atmosphere”. In 1999, he was awarded the title of Professor in Computational Mathematics by the Russian Ministry of Education. 7 PhD students got their degree under his supervision and became successful researchers and academics in Russia and USA. Since 1999, Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov works in the UK. Currently, he has a permanent academic position at the University of Manchester.

Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov developed (with co-authors) an efficient numerical method for modelling supersonic viscous flows over blunt bodies, obtained fundamental results in dynamics of large-scale thermals in the atmosphere, his results on large-scale fires undermined the well-known theory of “nuclear winter”. Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov (with his progeny) obtained pioneering results in 3D modelling the Tunguska impact and comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision with Jupiter. For last years, he has been working in the development of non-overlapping domain decomposition methods, modelling near-wall turbulent flows, active sound control, and Pareto multiobjective optimisation, which are well-recognised by the research community.

Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov was the supervisor of a number of Russian and International projects related to grants by the Russian Foundation of Basic Research, ISF, DAAD, Royal Society, EPSRC, INTAS and FP6 EU Programme; co-chaired 4 International Conferences on Applied and Engineering Mathematics in London in 2007-2010 (WCE Congress of Engineering); consulted industrial companies such as Daimler-Benz AG, ABB AG, ALSTOM AG, EDF Energy Ltd, Numeca-International Ltd; gave invited lectures in the following world-class Research Centres: Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA), Royal Society (Kavli Centre), Isaac Newton Institute (Cambridge), Henri Poincare Institut (Paris), EDF/CNRS (Paris), ALSTOM Technology Centre (Zurich), ABB (Zurich), Schlumberger (Cambridge), CARDC (China); he is a member of the Editorial Board in 7 International Journals: J. Applied Mathematics; Pioneer J. Advances in Applied Mathematics; ISRN Applied Mathematics J; the Open Aerospace Engineering Journal; Int. J. CFD Letters; Int. J. Numerical and Analytical Methods in Engineering; International Scholarly Research Notices (Applied Mathematics). Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov is an author and co-author of more 100 peer-reviewed journal publications (according to Scopus).

For more than 10 years, Professor S.V. Utyuzhnikov was the leader of Computational Aerodynamics Research Group in the Department of Computational Mathematics at MIPT, the Principal Investigator in 6 research projects supported by RFBR, 2 industrial contracts with Daimler Benz AG (1994-1996), and 3 projects supported by INTAS (1993-2001). Working in the UK, he was a Leading Researcher in two large projects: «FLOMANIA” and “VIVACE”, supported by the 6th EU Frame Programme. At the time being, Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov is successfully supervising a project on active noise filtration in seismic prospecting, supported by Programme “Academic Resources of Innovative Russia”.

For 10 years, working at MIPT, Prof S.V. Utyuzhnikov was a Deputy Dean in the Faculty of Aero-physics and Cosmic Research, a member of the Academic Senate, and PhD and DSc Academic Boards.
