Nikolay Vladimirovich Kuznetsov (
Russian: Николай Владимирович Кузнецов; born 13 May 1979 in
Leningrad,
USSR) is a specialist in nonlinear dynamics and control theory.
Academic career
He graduated from the
St. Petersburg University, Department of Theoretical Cybernetics chaired by
V.A. Yakubovich, in 2001. In 2004 he received Candidate of Science degree (supervisor
G.A. Leonov) and in 2016 Doctor of Science degree (Habilitation) from St. Petersburg University. From 2003 Nikolay Kuznetsov has been working in St. Petersburg University and now he is Full professor (tenured) and Head of the Department of Applied Cybernetics there. Since 2018 the research group chaired by Kuznetsov has been awarded the status of
the Leading Scientific School (Center of Excellence) of Russia in the field of mathematics and mechanics. In 2020 he was named Professor of the Year in the field of mathematics and physics in Russia.
Since 2018, Kuznetsov is Head of the Laboratory of information and control systems at the Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering of the
Russian Academy of Science. In 2022, Nikolay Kuznetsov was elected a member of the
Russian Academy of Science.
In 2008, Kuznetsov defended his
Ph.D. degree at
the University of Jyväskylä, Finland (supervisors
P. Neittaanmäki,
G.A. Leonov).
After the defense, he has been working at the University of Jyväskylä as the Academy of Finland postdoc,
then as a part-time professor at the IT Faculty: from 2014 he is Adjunct Docent and from 2017 – Visiting Professor.
He is co-chair of the Finnish-Russian educational & research program organized in 2007
by the University of Jyväskylä and St. Petersburg University.[1] As a recognition, University of Jyväskylä awarded him a medal for his distinguished merits in the field of applied mathematics and training doctoral students,[2] in 2020 he got
the Finnish Information Processing Association (TIVIA) award[3] and was elected a foreign member of the
Finnish Academy of Science and Letters (becoming its youngest foreign member at the time of election).[4][5] In 2021, the joint educational & research program was expanded to include the Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, where Kuznetsov was offered the position of Visiting Professor.
The Web of Science Group proclaimed Kuznetsov a
Highly Cited Researcher in Russia twice over two consecutive years (2016-2017) and included him in the worldwide list of
Highly Cited Researchers in 2019[8]
(where he was among 3 scientists from St. Petersburg University and the only one from the University of Jyväskylä),[9][10] 2020,[11][12] and 2021.[13]
He was awarded the St. Petersburg University Prize in 2020 and
the Afraimovich Award in 2021
for The theory of hidden oscillations and stability of dynamical systems.
