D.r Voloshin is involved in the modelling of cell motility and study of the ef- fects of the underlying surfaces. He seeks to develop MEMS based systems for eva- luation of cell's mechanical properties, as wel as to get a better understanding of the effects of dynamic loading on human musculoskeletal system. Dr. Voloshin investi- gates thermomechanical deformations in micro- and opto-electronic packages using more interferometry. He is recipient of a M. Hetenyi and Brewer Awards from the SEM Honors Committee, recognizing his contributions as a practicing stress analyst. Voloshin was elected as an Academic Advisor by the Presidents of the InternationalAcademy ofScience in Russia for his "significant scientific achievements in the solution of the engineering problems of mechanics", He has served as visiting professor at Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Minas Gerais in Brazil, at Acrama Gakuin University in Japan, Technion in Israel, Ljubljana University and Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines, St. Etienne, France. He isalso recipient of a Certificate of Recognition from NASA for the creative development of a technical innovation. Voloshin is a member of SEM, ASB, and ABCM.Prior to joining the Lehigh faculty, Voloshin served on the faculty at Iowa State University and as a senior research officer at the Institute of Non-Destructive Testing in Russian Federation.
