Vladimir Ya. Shur graduated at the Ural State University, Ekaterinburg, Russia in 1967. He received the M.S. degree in physics in 1967, the Ph.D. degree in 1974, and the Dr. Phys.-Math. Sci. degree in 1990, all from the Ural State University. He founded the Ferroelectric Laboratory of USU in 1982 and director of the Ural Center of Shared Use “Modern Nanotechnology”, Ural Federal University. He is President of the Ural Branch of Optical Society of Russia. He is currently engaged in research of the kinetics and statics of the domain structure in ferroelectrics, and micro- and nanodomain engineering in lithium niobate and lithium tantalate for nonlinear optical applications. He is an author or coauthor of more than 260 publications in peer-reviewed journals and 6 book chapters.
