Dmitri Sokolovsky is an Ikerbasque Research Professor at the Department of Physical Chemistry at EHU since 2009.
He obtained his degree in Theoretical Physics from Leningrad State University in 1980 and completed his PhD in Theoretical Physics at the Electrotechnical University of Communications in Leningrad (USSR) in 1985.
He has held an extensive international academic career, including more than fifteen years in the United Kingdom as Lecturer in Physics at the University of Nottingham and Lecturer in Theoretical Physics at Queen’s University Belfast (1995–2011). He has also carried out research stays at leading institutions such as the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, the University of Augsburg, and the University of Manchester.
His research focuses on fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, including quantum measurement theory and its applications, tunnelling times, attosecond physics, resonance effects in elementary chemical reactions, and theoretical approaches to electron–atom and molecular collision processes.
