BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
VALERIAN I. TATARSKII was born on October 13,
1929 in Kharkov, USSR. He received the M.S. degree in physics and mathematics
from Moscow State University in 1952,
the Ph.D. degree in physics and mathematics from the Acoustical Institute USSR Academy of Sciences in 1957, and the
Doctor of Sciences in physics and
mathematics from Gorky State University in 1964.
From 1953-1956 he was a Junior Scientist with the Geophysical
Institute, USSR Academy of Sciences, and from 1956-1959, he was a Junior
Scientist with the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences.
From 1959-1978 he worked as a Senior Scientist with the Institute of
Atmospheric Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences. He was Head of the Laboratory
with the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences from
1978-1990. In 1990 he becomes Head of the Department with the Lebedev Physical Institute, USSR Academy of Sciences. From
1991-2001 he was a Senior Research Scientist at the University of
Colorado/CIRES & NOAA/ERL. From 2001 to 2006 he was Senior Scientist at Zel Technology & NOAA/ETL. From 2006 to the present he has been Senior
Research Scientist at Radio-Hydro-Physics, LLC.
He has published more than 130 titles in wave
propagation in random and turbulent media, theory of turbulence, quantum and
statistical optics, and mathematics.
He published
the following books: Wave Propagation in a Turbulent Media (1959 in Russian,
1961 and 1967 in English), The Effect of the Turbulent Atmosphere on Wave
Propagation (1965 in Russian, 1971 revised edition in English), and, in
co-authorship with S.M. Rytov and Yu. A. Kravtsov, Principles of Statistical Radiophysics
(1978 in Russian, 1989 in English).
Dr. Tatarskii is a Corresponding member the Russian (former USSR)
Academy of Sciences (1976), Fellow of the Optical Society of America, Member of
the USA National Academy of Engineering (1994), Member of New-York Academy of
Sciences (1994), Fellow of the Institute of Physics (1999), Associate Editor of
the international Institute of Physics journal Waves in Random Media (1991-1998),
Member of the Editorial Board of the journal Soviet Physics, Uspekhi (1985-1996), Member of the Editorial Board of the
Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications, and a consultant of the
Great Russian (former Soviet) Encyclopedia. He was the USSR State Prize winner
(1990) and winner of the Max Born Award of the Optical Society of America in
1994. He was a chair of two International meetings in Wave Propagation in
Random Media (Tallinn, 1989, and Seattle, 1992).
