Associate Professor, Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering

       Dimitri M. Donskoy is Associate Professor of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. He is also Associate Director of the Davidson Laboratory at Stevens and Head of Acoustic Division. Donskoy received his MS Degree in Radio-Physics from Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) State University (1977) and Ph.D. in Physics from the Institute of Applied Physics Russian Academy of Sciences (1984). During his 25 year research tenure, Dr. Donskoy has accumulated a great deal of theoretical and experimental experiences in nonlinear and structural acoustics, sensing and diagnostics, and instrumentation development. He was awarded prestigious USSR National Prize in 1987 for the work in nonlinear acoustics. Since Dr. Donskoy's arrival to the United States in 1990, he has been a principal investigator for numerous multi-disciplinary projects, such as mine detection, non-destructive testing and characterization of materials and structures, medical diagnostics, noise and vibration mitigation, sensor design, and others. Dr. Donskoy’s research programs have been supported by the US government agencies (U.S. Army and Navy, NOAA, and NASA) as well as various industrial enterprises, just the name of few: Boeing, Shell, Ford, GRI, EPRI. Prof. Donskoy has over 50 publications in the field. He is also holding 11 US and international patents.
