Victor Krylov is Russian-born British academic, professor of Acoustics and Vibration at Loughborough University
. In recognition of his contribution to the field of Acoustics
, he was awarded the prestigious Rayleigh Medal
by the Institute of Acoustics
in 2000.
Victor Krylov was born in Tambov, Russia. After initial training in Radio Physics and Electronics, he received his PhD in Physics and Mathematics (specialisation in Acoustics
) from the Moscow State University
in 1981. In 1989 he received his DSc in the same disciplines from the Moscow State University
and from the Higher Attestation Commission
of the former USSR. He has been a research fellow and then a senior research fellow in the Moscow State University
from 1980 to 1993. In 1990-1991 he was a SERC visiting fellow in the University of Edinburgh
. From 1993 he has been a Professor of Acoustics in the Nottingham Trent University
, and in 2001 he joined Loughborough University
as Professor of Acoustics and Vibration.
Krylov has been awarded the Highest National Young Scientists Award of the former USSR in 1984 (Lenin Komsomol Prize
) and the Rayleigh Medal
from the Institute of Acoustics
in 2000. His main contributions are in the fields of Physical acoustics, Surface acoustic wave
s, Laser ultrasonics
, Acoustic emission, Ultrasonic non-destructive testing of materials, Railway- and road-generated ground vibrations
, Low-frequency noise
and vibration
, Localised elastic waves in complex structures, Structure-borne vehicle interior noise. He has authored/co-authored/edited five books and more than 250 journal and conference papers.
He has been involved actively in the professional life of the acoustic community in the UK and overseas, serving as a member of the Research Coordination Committee of the Institute of Acoustics
(IOA), the Committee of the joint Physical Acoustics Group of the Institute of Acoustics
(IOA) and the Institute of Physics
