Biography:
He was born on May 26, 1940 in the Perechyn urban village of Transcarpathian region of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1961 he graduated from Uzhgorod State University.
Since then he has been working at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
He graduated from postgraduate studies at the Department of Optics of Faculty of Physics of Uzhgorod National University, majoring in "astrophysics".
In 1967 he defended his dissertation 'Matrix equations of radiation diffusion' at A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad Order of Lenin and Order of the Labor Red Banner State University.
In 1984 at the P. K. Sternberg State Astronomical Institute of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University defended his doctoral dissertation 'Fine structure of Fraunhofer lines and the structure of the photosphere of the Sun'.
During 1983 (according to other data since 1984) - 2002 he was the head of the Department of Solar Physics at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Ukrainian SSR Academy of Sciences (since 1991 NASU), and since 2002 he has been the chief researcher of the observatory.
In 1990 he was awarded the M. Barabashov Prize of the Ukrainian SSR Academy of Sciences.
On November 25, 1992 (according to other data in 1993) he was elected a corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
In 2003, he was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology as a co-performer for a series of studies "Development of theoretical foundations and a unique observation base in Goloseev and Terskol Peak for research of the Sun and bodies of the solar system."
He is the Deputy Chairman of the Specialized Scientific Council of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
Works as a leading researcher at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine,
Together with N. G. Shchukina and S. M. Osipov, since 2012 they have been using the ACU-5 solar horizontal telescope as part of the Ukrainian observation program for monitoring the Sun's atmosphere. In 2017, they were the first to detect a correlation between variations in the quiet component of the Sun and indices of solar activity. These variations are almost an order of magnitude smaller than the variations of the Sun as the stars.
He is an individual member of the Ukrainian Astronomical Association.
From 1976 to 1984 he was the executive secretary of the collection "Astrometry and Astrophysics", and from 1985 he was the executive secretary of the journal "Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies".
The specialty of the scientist is 01.03.03.-astrophysics. The direction of the astronomer's scientific work is the study of the solar system. The field of his scientific work is the physics of the Sun and solar-terrestrial relations.
The scientist solved the inverse problem of the theory of radiation diffusion, developed the theory of the influence of sound waves on the contours of spectral lines; proposed a method for constructing coordinated systems of oscillator forces (approx. 2000 lines of 49 chemical elements). He built a three-dimensional model of the Sun's photosphere.
In 1994 and 2001-2005 he took part in the Russian-Ukrainian projects "KORONAS" to study the fluctuations of the brightness of the Sun.
The main scientific works concern the physics of the Sun. He offered an explanation of the mechanism of formation of a bright border on the edges of solar prominences.
