Andrei S. Shurup received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2003, 2005, and 2008, respectively. From 2008 until now, he has worked in the Acoustic Department, Faculty of Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, presently in the position of Associate Professor. Since 2018, he has been a member of scientific research groups at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and at the Sсhmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences. For his research in underwater acoustics and inverse acoustic problems, he was awarded the Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Award of the Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems (EAIP). His research interests include forward and inverse problems in hydro- and geoacoustics applications, acoustic tomography, numerical modeling, and vector-phase methods of experimental data processing.
