Koval’chuk, (Kovalchuk) Boris M., D. Tech. S. Born in 1940. Engineer. Specialist
in the fields of electronics and electrotechnics and electrophysics. Corresponding
member since December 1987, and an academician since 1992. He has authored
130 scientific works and is credited with 11 inventions. He graduated from the
Tomsk Polytechnical Institute imeni S. M. Kirov in 1962 and worked at the
Nuclear Physics Electronics, and Automation Institute in Tomsk from 1962 to
1970. In 1970 he became Head of a laboratory of the Department of High Energy
Electrotechnics and in 1978, he was made Head of the Pulsed Power Laboratory of
the High Currents Electronics Institute in Tomsk. He is on the Scientific Council on
Pulsed Power. Chairman of the section on the physical Technical Problems of controlling
the sources of extra high power energy of micro and nano wave bands. He
headed the base for the production of pulsed energy, including work on the
synthesis of thermonuclear war heads on guided missiles, the study of the physics
of powerful electronic and ionic rays, the generation of SVCh radiation, and research
in laser technology. He has guided the research of two doctoral candidates
and the work of five aspirants for the candidate degree. He was given the Laureate
Lenin Komsomol Prize in 1968. He received the State Prize in 1981. He also has
been awarded a medal in recognition of his work.
Leont’ev, (Leontiev) Anatolii I., Corresponding member of the Physical and
Technical Problems of Energetics Department of the Academy since December
1987; academician in 1993. He is currently a member of the Bureau Governing
Body of the Physical and Technical Problems of Energetics Department of the
Academy.
Mishin, Vasilii P. Born in 1917 in Moscow Oblast. Russian scientist in mechanics,
control processes, and the physico-Technical Problems of power engineering.
Academician since 1966. Principal membership in the Mechanics and Control
Processes Department. He graduated from the Serge Ordzhonikidze Moscow
Aviation Institute in 1941 and worked in research and design organizations
thereafter. He was promoted to professor at that institute in 1959. His works are
principal lly in applied mechanics. Lenin Prize, 1957. He received the S. P.
Korolev Gold Medal named for the famed rocket scientist in 1967 in recognition of
his work. (GSE 16, p. 375.)
Nakoriakov, Vladimir E., D. Tech. S. Born in 1935. Engineer. Specialist in the
mechanics of heterological systems and solid state physics. Since 1981, he has
been a corresponding member of the Problems of Machine Building and Control
Processes Department of the AN SSSR and the RAS and an academician and
Deputy Chairman of the Siberian Department since December 1989. He is author
and co-author of 250 scientific works of which six are significant monographs and
he is credited with eight inventions. He graduated from the Tomsk Polytechnical
Institute in 1958 and from 1958 to 1964, he worked at the Transportation
Energetics Institute. In 1965 he joined the staff of the Thermal Physics Institute. In
1974, he was named Head of the Two-Phase Laboratory of Thermal Physics
Institute in Novosibirsk, becoming Deputy Director in 1986, and in 1988, he was
named the Director of that institute that was founded in 1959 to study heat transfer,
thermal physics of ionized gases, and gas dynamics. He is responsible for
experiments leading to the development of a theory that shows a greater velocity
being achieved in filtration through heat exchange during condensation and a forced
flow in various media. He has been a professor at the Novosibirsk University since
1976 and served as Prorector and rector of that university from 1983 to 1985.
While serving at the university, he guided the doctoral work of six students and the
research of 40 aspirants for the candidate degree. He was named to the Siberian
Department Presidium in 1983, becoming Deputy Chairman of the Siberian
Department in 1985. He received the Government’s Laureate Prize in 1983 and
holds other medals and awards.
