Biography:

He was born on January 2, 1963 in the Poltava city of Poltava region of the Ukrainian SSR.

During 1970-1980, he studied at Kyiv Secondary Specialized School No. 56.

In 1985 he graduated from T. G. Shevchenko Kyiv Order of Lenin and the Order of the October Revolution State University in the specialty "General Physics", specialized in "Solid State Optics", where he entered in 1980.

During July-mid-August 1981, he worked as a technician at High mountain scientific base "Terskol" of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR

Since August to October 1985, he was a young specialist at the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, then until January 1988, he worked as an engineer in the photoactivity department of the institute, since November 1988 to November 1991, he studied at the graduate school of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.

Since December 1991 to December 1993, he was a specialist in the laboratory of laser systems, continuing to study in graduate school.

Since 1993, he has been a member of the International Society of Optical Engineers SPIE (USA).

Since January 1993 to June 1995, he worked in the laboratory of laser systems as an electrical engineer, and since July 1995 to August 1997, he was an acting junior researcher at Department No. 6 of the Institute of Semiconductor Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.

Since October 1997, he worked as a leading engineer and since January 1998, under a contract, as a senior researcher of the Department of Space Geodynamics of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He was engaged in the observation of artificial satellites of the Earth and the improvement of the laser-location system.

In 1995, he defended his candidate's thesis "Solid-state nano- and picosecond lasers with resonators based on the Sanyak interferometer" in the specialty "laser physics" at the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (according to some data, he worked at the Institute of Semiconductor Physics in 1994-1997).

In 1998, as part of the author's team, he was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology for the work "Physical foundations, development and creation of highly stable laser systems for metrology, analytical measurements and fundamental research".

Since May until mid-July 2002, he was a representative of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Scientist died on December 28, 2004.

Discovered on October 16, 2007, the main belt asteroid 202778 was named "Dmytria" in honor of the astronomer.

The direction of scientific work is research and development of laser satellite location systems.
