was born in Rostov-on-Don, Soviet Union, in 1931, and studied physics and mathematics at the Rostov State University. After graduating he moved to Moscow and started working at teh Institute of Chemical hysics, USSR Academy of Sciences, where he studied the fundamentals of chemical kinetics unter the Nobel laureate N. N. Semynov. In 1960 he started working in the branch of this Institute in Chernogolovka, Moscow Region, where he headed the Department of Macroscopic Kinetics. In 1971 he was appointed Professor and became the head of Engineering Chemical Physics. In 1979 he was promoted to Chairman of the State Council for Theory and Practice of SHS Processes of the USSR State Committee on Science and Technology, and in 1987 he established and became the Director of the Academic Institute of Structural Macrokinetics. In the same year he was apppinted the Director General of a new Soviet consortium—the Interdisciplinary Science & Technology Complex “Thermosynthesis”. In 1989 he was elected Chairman of the Scientific Council for Combustion of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the Chairman of the Soviet Section of the International Combustion Institute. He has autored more than 500 scientific works and 200 inventions, and has been the recipient of a number of international awards.

Technical ceramics, shape-memory alloys and catalysts are among teh materials which can be produced using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The high-temperatures and synthesis rates result in self-purification, self annealing and self-purfication phenomena which lead to materials which differ considerably in structure from those conventionally produced. The method and its applications are described by one of its discoverers.
