M Kovalchuk biography

Born on September 21 in Leningrad now St. Petersburg. Soviet and Russian physicist, specialist in the field of radiographic analysis. Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences from the year. Director of the Institute of Crystallography of the Russian Academy of Sciences in years, director of the Kurchatov Institute in the years, the president of the Kurchatov Institute since December.

Dean of the Faculty of Physics of St. Petersburg State University. He was a permanent scientific secretary of the Presidential Council for Science, Technologies and Education in years, after its transformation to the Presidential Council for Science and Education in the year - a member of the Presidium. Leading popular science television programs “History from the Future” and “Picture of the World”.

Full gentleman of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland." Mikhail Kovalchuk was born on September 21 in Leningrad now St. Petersburg. Father - Valentin Mikhailovich Kovalchuk, doctor of historical sciences, specialist in the history of the blockade of Leningrad, chief researcher at the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The younger brother is Yuri Valentinovich Kovalchuk genus.

The nephew is Boris Yuryevich Kovalchuk. In the year he graduated from the Faculty of Faculty of Leningrad State University, his thesis at the Institute of Semiconductions of the USSR Academy of Sciences was devoted to the study of dynamic scattering of X -rays in perfect crystals and the creation of new methods for the diagnosis of semiconductor crystals on this basis. He was offered to stay in graduate school, but, for family reasons, he moved to Moscow, where he received a distribution by an internsioner at the Crystallography Institute.

Since the year - a full -time employee of the institute. In the year, he defended his thesis “the method of a three -round x -ray spectrometer and the study of the structural perfection of thin crystalline layers”. In the year, he headed the institute on the laboratory of X -ray optics and synchrotron radiation. In the year, Mikhail Kovalchuk defended the dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences "The method of standing X-ray waves in the study of the structure of the underlying layers of semiconductors." In the year, he was elected director of the Institute of Crystallography of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In the same year, he was awarded the academic title of professor. Since the beginning of the 10ths, he led at the Institute of Crystallography by the Research Center “Space Materials Science”. He headed the institute for 15 years. But as a result of two secret votes at the meetings of the Department of Physical Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences on May 27 and 30, he was not re -elected to the director’s occupied post.

Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the separation of general physics and astronomy physics of the condensed state from May 26. However, he did not become a vice president, since in the year he was not elected a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and only a full member can be the vice president of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Since the year - Director of the Kurchatov Institute. At the same time, Kovalchuk proposed to transfer to a new level a Russian research program for the possibility of creating an experimental thermonuclear reactor. Areas of the scientific interests of Kovalchuk: radiographic analysis in particular, x -ray and protein crystallography; human genetics; X -ray and synchrotron radiation in the study of materials; Physics of the condensed state; X -ray physics and optics; physics of crystallization processes; standing X -ray waves of SRV; Multivel -wave diffraction.

In the year, on the initiative of the President of the Russian Scientific Center “Kurchatov Institute”, academician E. Velikhov, it was decided to create the Kurchatov Center for Synchrotron Radiation. Kovalchuk became his director-organizer and focused on creating a set of research stations based on the Sibir-2 synchrotron, which was created in the Novosibirsk IIF SB RAS, at the same time paying special attention to nanobioorganic systems.

He successfully completed the implementation of the scientific project on the development, creation and commissioning of a complex of unique research equipment - experimental stations on the beams of the first specialized source of synchrotron radiation intended for collective use by the scientific community. About the year, Mikhail Kovalchuk successfully develops a new direction of the X -ray optics, associated with the study and use of multi -wave diffraction.

In E Kovalchuk, he focused his efforts on the deployment of research in the field of nanodiagnostics, nanomaterials and nanosystems, becoming virtually one of the ideologists of the development of nanotechnologies in Russia. Thanks to him, an attempt was made unofficially to propose the development of nanotechnologies as a kind of state ideology of Russia. According to the official website of Moscow State University, under the leadership of Kovalchuk, a fundamentally new method of studying the surface of condensed media was developed, using standing X -ray waves of SRV and combining the possibilities of diffraction study of the structure with spectroscopic sensitivity to specific types of atoms.The method of SRV was adapted for the structural characterization of multicomponent crystals, semiconductor heterostructures, multilayer x -rays, x -ray wave -water structures, organic multilayer systems based on Lengmure -Blodett films, and protein -lipid systems.

The author and co -author of more scientific works, including 21 author's certificate and 10 patents. From the year - member of the Council of the Skolkovo Foundation. Since November - and. Also among the posts he held: a member of the Presidium of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on Science and Education; member of the Presidential Commission on the modernization and technological development of the Russian economy; member of the board of the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology of the Russian Federation and the College of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia since the year; President of the All -Russian Society of Inventors and Rationalizers of Warriors; Chairman of the National Committee of Crystallographs of Russia; Chairman of the National Conference on the use of X -ray, synchrotron radiation, neutrons and electrons for the study of RSNE materials; Chairman of the National Conference on the growth of Crystals of the NKRK; Scientific adviser to the faculty of na-, bio-, information and cognitive technologies of the MIPT; Head of the Department of Physics of Nanosystems Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University; Head of the Department of Nuclear Physical Methods of Research Faculty of SPbSU.

In years, he simultaneously headed the Department of Physics of Interaction between Radiation with the Substances of the Faculty of General and Applied Physics of the MIF, was a professor at the Faculty of Sciences of Materials of Moscow State University. The editor -in -chief of the Crystallography Scientific Journal, Deputy editor -in -Chief of the journal Surface.

X -ray, synchrotron and neutron studies ”; Deputy Chairman of the RAS Commission for Nanotechnology. The author and presenter of the popular science television program “History from the Future” on the fifth channel and “The picture of the world with Mikhail Kovalchuk” on the Culture TV channel. The property of the population of official people is very simple: limited self -awareness, cognitively this is regulated elementary, we see, this is already happening.

The second thing is breeding control, and the third thing is cheap food, these are genetically modified products. And this is also ready. So, in fact, today a real technological opportunity has already arisen to withdraw the service subspecies of people. ” In February, the Ministry of Defense of Russia proposed to appoint Kovalchuk to two new posts at once - the scientific director of the ERA military innovative technopolis and member of the Prospective Study of the Promising Research for Five years under construction in Anapa.

From the year - the scientific director of the Institute of High -Teddy Technologies and the Advanced Materials of the Far Eastern Federal University. Son - Kirill Kovalchuk genus.
