Yurii Vlasov graduated from the University of St. Petersburg, Russia in 1988 with a M.S. in physics. Since then, he had been working as a research scientist at the Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology, St.Petersburg, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1994 on optical properties of III-V semiconductor heterostructures under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Kaplyanskii. He then began a project to study the optics of opal photonic crystals, which was continued during his postdoctoral fellowship at the Strasbourg Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials  in 1996 with Prof. Bernd Hönerlage. In 1998 Yurii joined the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, NJ, where he was working first as a postdoctoral scientist with Dr. David Norris and later as a staff scientist on semiconductor photonic crystals. In parallel with all these career moves he held a research scientist position with Ioffe Institute in Russia for almost 14 years untill 2001.  Since the end of 2001 Yurii has been a research staff member of the IBM Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY.
