Dmitri Lapotko obtained his MS in thermal physics, Ph.D. in laser defense applications from Belarus State University, and Doctor of Science in bioengineering from A.V. Lykov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute. His research in biophotonics and nanotechnology resulted in the invention of laser-generated plasmonic nanobubbles as a novel platform for diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical technologies for cancer and other diseases. Lapotko’s work, recently summarized in his book “Plasmonic Nanobubbles: From Physics to Clinics,” laid the foundation for non-stationary plasmonics and nanophotonics.
