Sergey Khrapak received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University) in 1996 and 1999, respectively. From 1996, he was a Research Fellow and then Senior Scientist with the Joint Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. From 2000 to 2013, he was with the Theory (complex plasma) Group at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Garching, Germany. From 2014 to 2021, he was with the Complex Plasma Group at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), Wessling, Germany. From 2015 to 2018, he was also appointed as Chair of Excellence at PIIM Laboratory, Aix-Marseille-University, Marseille, France. In 2020–2022, he was a PI of the project titled “Collective dynamics, elastic and transport properties of classical fluids in different regimes of interparticle interaction” at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. He is the author of more than 200 scientific papers. His current scientific interests are mostly focused on the theory of complex (dusty) plasmas, soft condensed matter, and physics of fluids.
