Awards: - Prize of the Government of Russia for the works in the field of vibrational technology (1999).
                - Kharizmi International Award in Iran for the works on creation and development of
                   the theory of vibrational transportation and of a new class of vibrational machines (1999).

Research areas:
                 applied mathematics and mechanics, nonlinear oscillation theory, dynamics of machines,
                 vibrational engineering, gas-lift stream technology, dynamic materials

Discoveries and their applications:
                 phenomenon of self-synchronization of unbalanced rotors - a new class of
                 vibrational machines: crushers, mills, screens, feeders are developed and successfully use in
                 mineral processing industry on its base.

                 phenomenon of the appearance of the gravitational gas-lift stream - this discovery forms
                the basis of the technology which will enable mastering practically inexhaustible resources of
                energy and of raw materials of the World Ocean.
