A Guide to the Russian Academy of Sciences - University of Texas ...

Moscow that was established in 1948 subordinate to the academy's General
Physics and Astronomy Department for the purpose of developing computer
hardware and software, concentrating on high speed computers. His works have
included the principles and methods of building digital computers, theoretical and
practical problems of automatic control, and the principles of implementing multiprocessing
systems. Recipient of the State Prize, 1972; Lenin Prize, 1966. (GSE

Academician Evgenii P. Velihov, tel.237-45-32
Velikhov, Evgenii P., D. PM. S. Born in 1935 in Moscow. Russian theoretical
physicist. Since 1974, he has been an academician of the General Physics and
Astronomy Department of the Academy and since 1984, he has acted as
academician secretary of the Information Science, Computer Technology, and
Automation Department of the Academy. He graduated from Moscow State
University in 1958 and began working in the Institute of Atomic Energy at once
becoming head of one of its Departments in 1962. He has been a professor at
Moscow State University since 1968. From 1971 to 1988, he served as deputy
director of the I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute in Moscow. In December of
1988, he was named director of this important institute that was created in 1943 to
develop nuclear weapons. It is the largest institute in Russia that concentrates on
nuclear research that includes all aspects of atomic energy, including plasma and
solid state physics, fission and fusion reactors, and lasers. The institute is directly
subordinate to the State Committee for Utilization of Atomic Energy. Since 1977,
he has served as Vice President for the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Section
of the academy. Since 1978, he has headed the Geophysical laboratory of the High

director for science of the Industrial Lasers Scientific Research Center in Troitsk
that is under the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. The center is comprised of
scientific research divisions, a design bureau, and an experimental production
facility that develops and introduces laser tools and methods into industry. His
works are in low-temperature physics, plasma and magnetic hydrodynamics.
Current member of Editorial board of Science in the U.S.S.R. Since 1986, he has
been a Candidate Member of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In 1986, he was
