Mikhail Alexeevich Anisimov (Russian: Михаил Алексе́евич Анисимов, born November 2, 1941, Baku, Azerbaijan, USSR) is a Russian and American interdisciplinary scientist.
Early life and education
Anisimov graduated from Grozny Petroleum Institute with a Diploma in Engineering (Chemical Petroleum Engineering, 1964), a Ph.D. (Physical Chemistry, 1969) – from Moscow State University and a Doctor of Science degree (Molecular and Thermal Physics, 1976) from the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow.
Since 1969 through 1977, Anisimov worked at the U.S.S.R. State Committee for Standards and Product Quality Management (Russian: Госстандарт), where his postdoc mentor was Alexander V. Voronel.[1] .[2] Since 1978 until 1993, Anisimov was a professor and the chairman of the Physics Department of Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas. Since 1994, Anisimov has been working in the USA. Currently, he is a Distinguished University Professor at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and at the Institute of Physical Science and Technology at the University of Maryland, College Park.[3]
Research works
Anisimov’s field of research is thermodynamics of fluids and fluid mixtures, liquid crystals, polymers, and other soft-matter materials. His research group at the University of Maryland (jointly with Jan V. Sengers [2] [4]) is one of the leading authorities, nationally and internationally, in the field of critical phenomena and phase transitions. Anisimov works in both theory and experiment, on fundamental problems and on applications. He has been an author and a co-author of two books, 14 book chapters and review articles and more than 400 published journal and encyclopedia articles, conference proceeding and reports.
Personal life
Anisimov has four children. His eldest daughter, Tanya Anisimova, is an internationally recognized cellist and composer.
