Professor Dimitri Vvedensky from Imperial College London will give a presentation highlighting best practice and reporting on his experiences making a successful application for Athena SWAN Silver award. A buffet lunch will be provided to allow for informal discussions prior to Dimitri's presentation.
Dimitri Dimitrievich Vvedensky is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London. He obtained a B.S. in Mathematics at the University of Maryland and S.M. and Ph.D in Materials Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been on the faculty at Imperial College London since 1985.
His research has two main themes: (i) close collaborations with experiments, and (ii) establishing the relationship between atomistic and macroscopic behavior, mainly of inorganic materials, but more recently in studies of the human placenta. He is the author of more than 250 technical publications, including one authored and five co-edited books.
He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society. He was the Guest Professor in the Department of Physics at ETH Zürich in 1998 and at the University of Aix-Marseille in 2007 and 2008, the Röntgen Professor at the University of Würzburg in 1999, and a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Pure and Applied mathematics at UCLA in 2005. He is a three-time recipient of the Imperial College Award for Teaching Excellence.
He has been a member of the Department of Physics Juno Transparency and Opportunities Committee since September 2011 and the Chair since July 2012. During that time various Committee members have played key roles in expanding outreach activities, initiating new staff training and awareness seminars, and establishing guidelines for academic staff recruitment. In the past year, the Department of Physics has seen renewals of the Athena SWAN Silver Award (2015) and the Institute of Physics Champion Status (2016).
