Born 1938.
Graduated from the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys (1966).
Cand. Sci. (Eng.)
Dissertation "SHS-Based Production Methods for Inorganic Refractory Materials and Items, Related Facilities", 1986.
He is an author of more than 40 publications and Patents. He designed basic unconventional SHS equipment, including universal
pilot-, laboratory - and industrial-scale installations, high-pressure reactor, centrifugal reactors, molds for SHS compaction, etc.
