has been Director of the Catalysis Institute in Novosibirsk. Since 1986, he has
headed the government committee on Catalysis in Industrial Production. He was
named to the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1988. He has been a
member of GKNT (the State Committee for Science and Technology) since 1988.
He is Head of the Scientific Council on Catalysis. He is President of the Physical
Chemistry Society section on Theoretical and Applied chemistry. The institute was
established in 1958 to study catalytic action and catalyst preparation, the
mathematical simulation of chemical reactors, commercial and new catalysts. It is
one of the largest such institutes in the world. Although established as early as 1971
as the Coordination Center for Development of New Industrial Catalysts and the
Improvement of Catalysts used in Industry, the center has evolved over the years
into an International Center for Catalysts Characterization and Testing as an integral
part of the Institute itself. As Director of that institute, Dr. Zamarayev will continue
to play an important role in its continued development as an international research
center.
Zhukov, Mikhail F., D. PM. S. Born in 1917 in an Ore Oblast village. Russian scientist
in aerodynamics and low temperature plasma. Corresponding member of the
Physical Technical Problems of Power Engineering of the Russian Academy of
Sciences and of the Siberian Department since 1968, and academician since 1992.
He has produced 200 scientific works that include five textbooks and eight major
monographs among which are “The Applied Dynamics of Thermochemical Plasma”
(1975) and “The Thermochemical Cathode” (1985) and “The High Temperature
Flow of Firing During the Processes of Machining Powdery Materials” (1990). He
graduated from the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics of Moscow State
University in 1941. From 1941 to 1946, he worked at the N. E. Zhukovskii Central
Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Institute and from 1946 to 1959, at the Main
Institute of Aviation Engine Construction. In 1959, he became Deputy Director of
the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the AN SSSR, and in 1970,
he became Deputy Director of the Institute of Thermal Physics of the Siberian
Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences located in Novosibirsk and in
1988 he became Director of that institute that had been created in 1959 to study heat
transfer, the physics of hydrodynamics and gas dynamics, and thermal physics of
ionized gases. From 1976 to 1980, he served as Head Scientific Secretary for the
AN SSSR and was on its Presidium. From 1960 to 1965 he was a professor at the
Novosibirsk State University and from 1977 to 1988 he taught at the Novosibirsk
Electro-Technical Institute where he guided the work of eight doctoral candidates
and 40 aspirants for the candidate degree. He chairs the Scientific Council on New
Materials for Technology. He received the State Prize in 1982, and holds several
other medals for his scientific engineering contributions. (GSE 9, p. 648.)
Zuev, Vladimir E., D. PM. S. Born in 1927 in Malye Goly, Kachug Raion, Irkutsk
Oblast. Russian physicist. Specialist in the fields of the dispersion of
electromagnetic and optical wave bands in the atmosphere. He has been a
corresponding member, 1970, and an academician since 1989--of the Oceanology,
Atmospheric Physics, and Geography Department. He was originally elected to the
General Physics and Astronomy Department. He joined the Presidium of the
Siberian Department in 1971. Since 1979, he has been Chairman of the Presidium of
the Tomsk Scientific Center, and he is Chairman of the Council for Research
Coordination of the Tomsk Oblast Committee. He has authored 69 scientific works
of which nine are monographs of importance; co-authored 238 works of which ten
are significant monographs and eight are discoveries. He graduated from the
University of Tomsk in 1951 and immediately began teaching there. From 1955 to
1969, he worked in the Siberian Physico-Technical Institute, becoming a professor
in 1964. Since 1969, he has been Director of the Atmospheric Optics Institute in
Tomsk and a member of the Siberian Department Presidium. The Atomspheric
