Biography:

He was born on February 4, 1952 in the Dnipropetrovsk city of Dnipropetrovsk region of the Ukrainian SSR (since 2016, Dnipro city).

In 1969, he graduated from school with a gold medal. In the same year, he entered the first year of the Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute, in 1970 he was transferred to the second year of the physics faculty of the 300th anniversary of the Reunification of Ukraine with Russia Dnipropetrovsk Order of Labor Red Banner State University which he graduated with honors in 1974.

During 1974-1977, he worked as a mathematical engineer in the Main Information and Computing Center of the Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy of the Ukrainian SSR (Dnipropetrovsk city).

In 1977-1980, he studied at a postgraduate course at the 300th anniversary of the Reunification of Ukraine with Russia Dnipropetrovsk Order of Labor Red Banner State University.

Since 1980, he worked at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, where he held the following positions: junior researcher, scientific secretary, senior researcher, leading researcher. In 1981, he defended his candidate's thesis at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR on the topic: "Investigation of large-scale gas dynamic processes in galaxies with active nuclei", and in 1997 he defended his doctoral thesis at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on the topic: "Galactic envelopes. Numerical modeling by the method of a thin layer' in the specialty "astrophysics, radio astronomy".

In 1998, among the co-authors, he was awarded the M. P. Barabashov National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine prize for the series of works "Development of multidimensional gas dynamics methods and their application to current problems of modern astrophysics".

In 2000, at the 5th Congress of the Ukrainian Astronomical Association, he was elected to the Council of the Ukrainian Astronomical Association.

In November 2006, he resigned from the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Currently working in Mexico, Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica Optica y Electronica (Mexico City).

Together with P. I. Fomin, he proposed the theory of ring structures in flat galaxies in the distribution of bright young stars of the OB class and ionized hydrogen. They showed that these structures are associated with waves of star formation induced by strong shock waves generated by the recurrent explosive activity of galactic nuclei.
