Dr. Georgy Sankin

Bio

Georgy Sankin received his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk in 2002. He joined the Therapeutics Research Laboratory at the Duke University as a Research Scientist in 2004, where he works on shock wave focusing and cavitation. He received the one-year research scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in 2000 and the Academia Europaea Prize for Young Scientists sponsored by MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica" in 2004. His NIH funded research activities involve characterization of laser-induced microbubbles, investigating applications in lithotripsy.
