A graduate of the Moscow Institute of Petroleum and Gas Technology, Dr. Shipilov earned his Ph.D. at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1987. After completing his doctorate, he worked at the Institute of Physical Chemistry as a research scientist, was founding Director of the Laboratory for Physical and Chemical Research in Fracture, Russian Academy of Sciences, and taught as an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Materials Science at Moscow State University from 1995-98. Prior to joining Metallurgical Consulting Services in 2006, he taught at Ryerson University and then spent several years on faculty at the University of Calgary. He has been an adjunct professor at Ryerson University (2006-09) and a visiting professor/guest scientist at five universities and two national research centers worldwide. He was recently named 3M McKnight Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth.
Dr. Shipilov has expertise in corrosion, materials performance and structural integrity. His scholarly activities cover stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, hydrogen embrittlement, and experimental fracture mechanics. He has published more than 100 scientific papers and several book chapters in these areas and is the editor of the two-volume Environment-Induced Cracking of Materials (Elsevier, 2007) and Minimizing Infrastructure Corrosion (NACE, 2009). His research findings have been used in nuclear power generation, aerospace, naval, medical device, oil and gas, petrochemical, and infrastructure technologies to ensure their safety and reliability. He has managed two national R&D programs and served as a technical consultant for several high-profile accident investigations, including the Komsomolets disaster. He has been plenary and keynote speaker at eleven international meetings including the 5th NACE Latin-America Region Corrosion Congress and the 16th International Corrosion Congress. His expertise has been sought by companies, government agencies, and research groups in twelve different countries on five continents.
Past chairman of the ASM Canada Council and the NACE Committee TEG 186X on Environmentally Assisted Cracking, he currently chairs the NACE Committee STG 60 on Corrosion Mechanisms and serves on the NACE Research Committee, the ASM Award Selection Committee and the editorial boards of Corrosion Reviews and Recent Patents on Corrosion Science. He organized and (co-)chaired three major international conferences and five symposia within large international gatherings. His recent honors include the 2010 Technical Achievement Award and the 2007 Distinguished Service Award of NACE International and the 2007 Morris Cohen Award of the Metallurgical Society of CIM. He was selected by ASM International to deliver the ASM-Indian Institute of Metals Visiting Lecture in India in 2007 and the M. Brian Ives Lecture in Canada in 2005. His visiting professorship at the University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2007 was sponsored by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. He is a Fellow of NACE International.
