Maxim Sukharev received his master's degree in theoretical physics under the supervision of Prof. Vladimir Krainov from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in 1997. During his postgraduate studies Dr. Sukharev was working with Prof. Krainov, Prof. Michael Fedorov, and Prof. Nikolai Delone. The trio had a tremendous impact on Maxim's scientific views and interests. In 2000 he defended his Ph.D. thesis in Laser Physics at the Department of High-Power Lasers in the General Physics Institute. In 2001 he received The French Ministry of Research Postdoctoral Fellowship and joined the Laboratory of Molecular Photophysics in the University of Paris South, Orsay. In summer of 2003 he joined the research group of Professor Tamar Seideman at the Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University as a postdoctoral fellow. He joined Arizona State University as an assistant professor of physics in August 2008. For more details see complete CV.
