Machine Building and Control Processes Department. He graduated from the
Tomsk State University in 1952. From 1955 to 1979, he was on the staff of the
Siberian Physico-Technical Institute, heading the Department of the physics of
metals of that institute from 1969 to 1979. In 1979, he joined the Department of
solid state physics and materials and headed that Department from 1979 to 1980.
He was named Deputy Director of the Atmospheric Optics Institute in 1981--that
was established in 1969 and engages in research on spectroscopy, laser probing of
the atmosphere and other electro-optical devices--and served in that capacity until
1984. In 1984, he became Director of the Physics of Strength of Materials Institute.
He was named a deputy chairman of the Presidium of the Tomsk Scientific Center
in 1983. He has been a professor at the Tomsk State University since 1970. He is
an honored scientist of the former Soviet Union. He was a member of the GKNT.
He was also Chairman of the "special-purpose" program for powder metallurgy.
The institute was established in 1984 from the Strength Physics and Materials Department
of the Atmospheric Optics Institute. In 1992, the institute had a total staff of 375
persons of whom 104 were research scientists and of whom three held the doctorate
and 46 the candidate degree. One Academician served on the staff. Its scientists
study the problems of electron theory of the solid body, plastic deformation and
destruction of crystals, the physics principles for the creation of the new high
strength, durable and corrosion-resistant materials. Particular attention is paid to the
creation of materials that will withstand the rigors of the Siberian and the Far North
regions. In 1985, a technical-engineering center for the restoration and strengthening
of components of machinery and mechanisms was created at the institute.
Director: V. E. Panin, D. PM. S. Academician of the Machine Building and Control
Processes Department of the AN SSSR from 1987. The Scientific Secretary was

Main directions of TF ISM RAS scientific activity:
experimental and theoretic investigations of self-propagating
high-temperature synthesis (SHS) processes;
mathematic simulation of SHS under impact, action of electromagnet and
other fields;
development of the methods of SHS production of new materials with the
unique properties (porous ceramics, high nitrogen ligatures for making
superhard stainless nickel free steels, resistive pastes for heaters
free of noble metals, getters on the base of aluminides of transition
metals etc.
More important projects, condcted with the participation of TF ISM RAS:
