Nominator's project description

Professor Vitalyi Gusev is an international authority in the fields of photo-acoustic phenomena and nonlinear acoustics. He made important theoretical predictions and pioneered the theoretical framework for several photo-acoustic effects. In close collaboration with experimental physicists throughout the world his predictions have been verified and new insight has been gained into acoustic phenomena on picosecond time scales. During his stay in Germany he will focus on the theoretical description of acoustic phenomena in nanostructures and optically excited nanomechanical systems.
