Professor Valery V. Vasiliev

Professor, Moscow State University of Aviation Technology

V.V. Vasiliev became a Titled Professor in 1973, and was elected as a corresponding member of the USSR (now Russian) Academy of Sciences in 1984. He worked as an engineer of the Central Aero-Hydrodynamic Institute (61-62), senior researcher and associate professor of Moscow Aviation Institute (63-72), professor of Moscow Institute of Civil Aviation Engineering (72-73) and, since 1974, has been the Head of the Department of Mechanics and Optimisation of Processes and Structures of the Moscow State University of Aviation Technology. Since 1971, he has been the General Scientific Consultant of Central Research Institute of Special Machinery. In 1984 and 2001 he was awarded with the USSR State Prize and RF Government Prize for application of composite materials in aerospace structures. Professor Vasiliev is an author or co-author of 16 monographs, textbooks, handbooks, and design guides in mechanics of thin-walled and composite structures.
