    Victor V. Moshchalkov, (

    superconductors,[2][3] nanophotonics and heavy fermions in solids.[4]

    Education and Research

    Victor V. Moshchalkov studied at the Kolmogorov Mathematical School, in Moscow (Russia), until 1969. He graduated in physics from

    RWTH Aachen. In 1991, he joined KU Leuven
    university as a Visiting Professor. In 1993, he was promoted to full professor and since 2017, he is professor Emeritus.

    Moshchalkov's research has been focused on: nanostructured superconductors,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] nanophotonics[13] and heavy fermions in solids.[14]

    Moshchalkov was awarded a Fellowship of the American Physical Society "For important contributions to the study of vortex matter and nano-structured superconductors".[15] Specifically, in nano-structured superconductors, he discovered the vortex Mott insulator-metal transition,[6][7][8] symmetry-induced antivortices in equilateral triangles and squares[9] and multiple sign reversals of the vortex ratchet effect.[11] In superconductor/ferromagnet hybrids, the domain wall superconductivity was reported by him.[10] A bound vortex-antivortex pair, generated by shielding currents around pinning center, has been directly imaged by scanning Hall microscopy.[12] Optical properties of individual and coupled photonic nanostructures and Fano resonances formed in these structures have been investigated.[13] He published an explanation of the anomalous properties of heavy fermion solids in terms of the formation of the giant Abrikosov-Suhl resonance at the Fermi level.[14]
