Ilya G. Usoskin is an Finnish astrophysicist, professor at University of Oulu, head of Cosmic Ray Station at Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory. He is a Vice president of the International Astronomical Union since 2021[2].[3].
Education
Ilya Usoskin was graduated from the Saint Petersburg Lyceum 239 with intensified study of physics and mathematics in 1982, in parallel with Grigory Perelman. Then he became a student at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and finished it as an MSc in Physics (Space Physics) in 1988 with honor.
Career
He worked as a (junior) researcher in the field of Astrophysics at the Ioffe Institute since 1988, where he obtained the Candidate of Sciences degree in Astrophysics in 1995. During 1997--1999, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the INFN Milano working with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment. Since 2000, he has been a staff of the University of Oulu -- head of the Oulu Cosmic Ray station.
He got PhD in Space Physics in 2000, become a Docent in 2002, and a full Professor in 2012.
Recognition and Honors
- In 2013, he was awarded with the Cross of Knight, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland for the promotion of national science. [4]
- In 2018, he was awarded with the Julius Bartels medal of the European Geosciences Union for the foundation of the Space Climate discipline [5]
- In 2019, he was elected a full member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.
- In 2020, he was awarded the third Annual Award of the ISEE of Nagoya University [6] for research of extreme solar events.
- In 2021, he became a Vice President of the International Astronomical Union.
Research
Ilya Usoskin works in the fields of Solar Physics, Cosmic Rays, Heliosphere and Space Climate. He has co-authored more than 400 research publications with tens of thousands of citations [7][8]
His main research achievements include:
- Foundation of a new research discipline Space Climate, focused on long-term global changes in the terrestrial and near-Earth environment;
- Invention of a novel method to model cosmic-ray effects in the atmosphere, using a full Monte-Carlo simulation of the atmospheric nucleonic-electromagnetic-muon cascade;
- Invention of a novel method of past solar activity reconstructions using cosmogenic isotopes;
- Foundation of a new paradigm of extreme solar events (aka Miyake events).
