from 1971. He headed the Scientific Council on the Earth’s Cryogenics from 1970.
He is the recipient of numerous awards and medals.
Molin, Iurii N., D. Chem. S. Born in 1934. Specialist in chemical physics.
Corresponding member since 1974, and academician of the General and Technical
Chemistry Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences and of the Siberian
Department since 1981. He graduated from the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute
in 1957. He worked at the Chemical Physics Institute of the AN SSSR from 1957 to
1959. In 1959, he joined the staff of the Chemical Kinetics and Combustion Institute
of the Siberian Department. In 1967, he headed a laboratory of that institute, and in
1971, he became its Director. The institute was organized in the 1960s to study
chemical physics and electron and nuclear magnetic resonance. Since 1978, he has
also acted as Head of the Fast Liquid Phase Reactions Laboratory of the Chemical
Kinetics and Combustion Institute. He was named to the Presidium of the Siberian
Branch in 1986. He has been a professor , holding the chair in chemical physics at
the Novosibirsk University, since 1977. He was Head editor of The Journal of
Structural Chemistry from 1977 to 1988. He is an Honored Scientist of the former
Soviet Union. He received the Lenin; Prize in 1986 and holds a number of other
awards and medals.
Nakoriakov, Vladimir E., D. Tech. S. Born in 1935. Engineer. Specialist in the
mechanics of heterological systems and solid state physics. Since 1981, he has been
a corresponding member of the Problems of Machine Building and Control
Processes Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences and an academician and
Deputy Chairman of the Siberian Department since December 1989. He is author
and co-author of 250 scientific works of which six are significant monographs and
he is credited with eight inventions. He graduated from the Tomsk Polytechnical
Institute in 1958 and from 1958 to 1964, he worked at the Transportation Energetics
Institute. In 1965 he joined the staff of the Thermal Physics Institute. In 1974, he
was named Head of the Two-Phase Laboratory of Thermal Physics Institute in
Novosibirsk, becoming Deputy Director in 1986, and in 1988, the Director of that
institute that was founded in 1959 to study heat transfer, thermal physics of ionized
gases, and gas dynamics. He is responsible for experiments leading to the
development of a theory which shows a greater velocity being achieved in filtration
through heat exchange during condensation and a forced flow in various media. He
has been a professor at the Novosibirsk University since 1976 and served as
Prorector and rector of that university from 1983 to 1985. While serving at the
university he guided the doctoral work of six students and the research of 40
