1952, this institute trains scientists for academy of science institutes and design
bureaus. In 1977, he was made a co-director of the Computer Center in Moscow,
that is now subordinate to the academy's Information Science, Computer
Technology and Automation Department. His works are principally concerned with
the dynamics of a solid containing a liquid, asymptotic and numerical methods in
mathematical physics, the theory of linear and quasi-linear motions, and optimal
control theory. (GSE 16, p. 419.)
