A. Smolin received his Ph.D. in solid state physics at the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (ISPMS), Tomsk, Russia in 1988, after a post-graduate course at Tomsk State University. His research was devoted to modeling deformation and fracture of heterogeneous materials using computational particle mechanics, namely the Movable Cellular Automaton (MCA) method. He received a Full Doctor of Science degree in solid mechanics (ISPMS, 2010) for the numerical study of mechanical properties of ceramics with complex porous structure, friction layer dynamics at the level of the contact patch, sound and noise generation under sliding friction, hip joint implants interaction with bone tissue. His research also made it possible to couple the MCA method with FEM for effective multi-scale modeling heterogeneous materials.

Now he is a leading scientist in computer simulation of the mechanical behavior of ceramics, composites, metals, and human bones. He was a supervisor of four Ph.D. students. Since 2007 he is a part-time professor at Tomsk State University. Co-author of 4 books, 70 papers in reviewed scientific journals, and more than 100 papers in conference proceedings. His research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, the Russian Science Foundation, and the Russian Ministry of Science.

A. Smolin was an invited researcher at Technical University Berlin (Germany) in 1999, Institute “Jozef Stefan”, (Slovenia) in 2002, Shenyang Institute of Technology (China) in 2007, IMWF Stuttgart University and Technical University Munich in 2010 and CIMNE Polytechnic University of Catalonia in 2012.

Since 2019 he is an Associate Editors-in-Chief of the journal “Defence Technology” (https://www.keaipublishing.com/en/journals/defence-technology); since 2021 an editorial board member of the journal “Materials” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/materials).
