Biography:
He was born November 15, 1960 in Novo-Mutin village of Konotopsky district of the Sumy region of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1982 he graduated from A. M. Gorky Kharkiv University. (now V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University) in the field of "astronomy" and has since worked in it.
During 1982-1984 he served in the Army of the USSR and was commander of an anti-aircraft platoon.
During 1985-1994 he worked as a junior researcher, then from 1994 he was a research fellow, a senior research fellow from 2004 and now since 2006 a senior lecturer in the Department of Astronomy and Space Informatics. Teaches courses: practical astrophysics, computer technology in astronomy, physics of planets and conducts astrophysical practice.
In 1987 he defended his Ph.D. thesis "Photometry of asteroids: phase dependencies of gloss, photometric model" at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
Participated in research on the Missile Unmanned Spacecraft "Rosetta", launched by the European Space Association, and flown to Comet Chuyumov-Gerasimenko for 10 years and 8 months, and landed softly on the comet's surface on November 12, 2014. During the flight, Remotely researched asteroids Steins (2008) and Lutetia (2010) and confirmed their flavors grown up many years before.
Since 2006, he has been a member of the 15th Commission of the International Astronomical Union "Physical Study of Comets and Small Planets".
In 2012 (according to other data in 2013), he became co-sponsored by the M.P. Barabashov Prize Laureate of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the series of works "Physical Properties of Asteroids Based on Photometric Observations".
In 2017 he defended in Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine his doctoral dissertation "Integral photometry of asteroids: observation and numerical simulation". His scientific adviser was Lupishko Dmitry Fedorovich, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor who is Research Institute of Astronomy of the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
He is a member of the International and European Astronomical Unions. He is awarded with the diplomas of the administration and the heads of the regional administration.
He is an expert in the field of photometry of asteroids.
The small planet 17054 got name Vasilshev.
