member Information Sciences, Computer Technology, and Automation Department
of the Academy in 1970 and an academician of the Russian Academy in 1992. From
1948 to 1964, he was a junior researcher, a senior researcher, and a Head of the
Department of Analytical Mechanics of the Institute of Mechanics. From 1965 to the
present he has served in various capacities from senior researcher, to Head of the
laboratory of stability theory and mechanics control systems, to Head of the
Department of Mechanics of the Computing Center. He has served a professor of the
chair of theoretical mechanics on the faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at
Moscow State University. His interests are in analytical mechanics, the theory of
stability and stabilization, applied mathematics, mathematical modeling in the
technical and natural sciences. Germogen S. Pospelov, D. Tech. S., consultant to
the center, was born in 1914, and received his first degree in electrotechnics from
the Moscow Energetics Institute in 1940. He received his candidate degree in the
Technical Sciences from the Zhukovskii Air Force Military Academy in 1949, his
doctorate from that same academy in 1956, and became a professor at that military
academy in 1957. He was elected a corresponding member of the academy in 1966,
and an academician in 1984. From 1945 to the present time, he has served as an
engineer, professor, Head of the electrotechnical faculty of the Zhukovskii Air Force
Academy, and Head of a laboratory, and a department and a consultant of the
computing center. His research interests are in applied mathematics, automatic
control, artificial intelligence, the theory of large systems, and mathematical program
planning. He has also served as a professor of the chair of theoretical mechanics on
the faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University.
Rzhanov, Anatolii V., D. PM. S. Born in 1925 in Ivanova. Russian physicist.
Academician of the Siberian Department and corresponding member of the General
Physics and Astronomy Department of the national academy since 1962.
Academician of the Information Science, Computer Technology, and Automation
Department since 1984. He graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in
1941. From 1944 to 1962, he worked at the Institute of Physics of the AN SSSR
and since 1968, he has been Director of the Institute of Semiconductor Physics of
the Siberian Department of the AN SSSR and the RAS in Novosibirsk. He joined
the Presidium of the Siberian Department in 1976. The Physics Institute was
established in 1964 to research microelectronics with emphasis on the physics of
semiconductors, lasers, non-linear optics, and the stability of semiconductor
materials. He has taught at the University of Novosibirsk since 1963 becoming a
professor there in 1966. His works are in the physics of dielectrics and
semiconductors and in semiconductor electronics. He discovered and studied the
piez electric effect in polarized barium titanate ceramics, and he produced and conducted
research on samples of point-contact and fused germanium diodes and triodes.

Samarskii, Aleksandr A., D. PM. S. Born in February 1919 in Amvrosievka in what is
now Donetsk Oblast. Russian mathematician. He has been a corresponding member
of the Mathematics Department of the Academy since 1966 and an academician since
1976--and now of the Informatics, Computer Equipment and Automation
Department. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1945 and became a
professor there in 1959. His main work has been in mathematical physics and
computer mathematics. He has made use of computational algorithms that are
successfully applied to the computer solutions of important problems in various
fields of science and engineering. In 1967, he was Head of the Laser Fusion
Laboratory of the M. V. Keldysh Applied Mathematics Institute in Moscow. Since
1984, he has served as Deputy Director of the M. V. Keldysh Applied Mathematics
Institute in Moscow, that is subordinate to the Information Science, Computer
Technology and Automation Department of the national academy. State Prize, 1954,
and the Lenin Prize, 1962. He is currently a Deputy to the Academician Secretary of
