The St. Petersburg Scientific Center
Chairman: Alferov, Zhores I., D. PM. S. Born in 1930. Russian physicist. He has
been an academician of the General Physics and Astronomy Department of the AN
SSSR from 1979. In 1963, he proposed that heterostructures be used for
semiconductor lasers. The CO2 gas dynamic laser that resulted was proposed by
Prokhorov and V. K. Koniukhov in 1967 and built in 1970. Since 1968, he has
been Head of the Contact Phenomenon in Semiconductors Laboratory of the A. F.
Ioffe Physical Technical Institute. In 1984, he was awarded the USSR State Prize
for his work--with others--on "Isoperiodic Heterostructures of Multicomponent
(Quartenary) Solid Solutions of the Semiconductor Compounds A3B5," published
from 1971-1981. In December 1987, he was made Director of the Ioffe Physical
Technical Institute. In Apriof 1989 he became Chairman of the St. Petersburg
Scientific Center and was elected a member of the Presidium of the academy.

First Deputy Chairman: Ponomarev, Valentin M., D. Tech. S. Since 1978, he
has been Director of the Computer Center in St. Petersburg that was established in
1978 as a multilevecomputing and data processing complex serving academy
institutes in the St. Petersburg area. It develops methods for the automation of
scientific research and creates program packages and systems for research design
and control. He was named Deputy Chairman of the St. Petersburg Scientific
