Moscow which is subordinate to the Ministry of Instrument Building, Automation
Equipment and Control Systems. It is in this institute that the solar and electrochemical
power sources for the Russian Space program are developed. In 1963 he
gained professorial status and became a Head of a subdepartment of the Moscow
Polytechnical Institute in 1965. His main work is in the conversions of energy and
the design of physical models of information. Lenin Prize, 1960. (GSE 14, pp.
482-83.)
Maliusov, Vladimir A. Born in 1913 in Moscow. Russian Chemical engineer.
Corresponding member of the Physical Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic
Materials Department of the Academy since 1968. He graduated from the D. I.
Mendeleev Moscow Institute of Chemical Engineering in 1940. From 1946 to
1963, he worked at the L. Ia. Karpov Physical Chemical Institute. In 1963, he
became laboratory Director at the N. S. Kurnakov Institute of General and
Inorganic Chemistry of the AN SSSR. His main work is in the hydrodynamics and
mass transfer in two-phase liquid gas flows and with new methods of separating
mixtures. State Prize, 1953. (GSE 15, p. 381.)
Petrovskii, Gurii T. Born in 1931 in Leningrad. Russian physical chemist and
production engineer. Corresponding member of the Physical Chemistry and
Technology of Inorganic Materials Department of the Academy since 1976. He
graduated from the Lensovet Leningrad Technological Institute in 1955. In 1959,
he began work at the S. I. Vavilov State Optical Institute of which he became
Deputy Director in 1969. Since 1986, he has been Director of the Sosnovii Bor
Branch of the S. I. Vavilov Optics Institute in Leningrad. The branch develops and
tests lenses, lasers, and other optical instruments. His works deal with the
properties and production technology of such optical materials as beryllium fluoride
glasses. He discovered the anionic conductivity of fluoride glass dielectrics.
Holder of the State Prize. (GSE 30, p. 604.)
Samoylov (Samoilov), Andrei G., D. Tech S. Born in 1907 in Ishim, Tomsk
Oblast. Russian specialist in metallurgy. Corresponding member of the Physical
Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials Department of the Academy since
1976. He graduated from the M. I. Kalinin Moscow Institute of Nonferrous Metals
and Gold in 1935. He is associated with the All-Union SRI of Inorganic Materials.
His works deal with hard alloys based on tungsten carbide and titanium carbide
and with materials for nuclear reactors. Holder of four State Prizes and the Lenin
Prize. (GSE 30, p. 622.)

Siberian department. In 1932, he began working at the State Institute for the Design
of Enterprises of the Heavy Chemical Industry. He graduated from Moscow State
University in 1941 and fought in WW II. From 1946 to 1956, he worked at the L.
Ia. Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry in Moscow. From 1956 to 1959, he
worked on the staff of the CC CPSU; from 1959 to 1976, he was Deputy Director
of the Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Division (now Department) of the AN
SSSR. In 1976, he became Deputy Director of the L. Ia. Karpov Institute of
Physical Chemistry. His research has dealt with the creation of mathematical
models of catalytic processes and chemical reactors. State Prize, 1946; Lenin Prize,
1960. (GSE 23, p. 536.)
