BOGDANOV Alexander V., b. 1948, Russian, graduated from Leningrad State University as Applied Mathematician, has become the doctor of sciences as Theoretical Physicist, has become professor of a chair of Computational mathematics and is elected to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Russian Federation on a speciality Computing and mathematical physics.

The main professional area of interests is connected to mathematical methods of physics, methods of calculations, mathematical modeling. Recently from a wide spectrum of applied problems the main efforts are concentrated in the field of creation of databases and bases of knowledge for a number of applied directions and creation of algorithms of high-performance computations. At the same time he had to solve the problems of organization of computer cluster on diverse computer platforms, i.e. problem of network integration.

The object area, in which main scientific results were received, is connected to the Russian and international airspace programs. From the most important note here "Vega - Helley comet", "the Mars- 94". Other important applied programs are database on physical -chemical gas dynamics optimization of a technological laser on HF.

As main activity in the last years it is possible to consider organization and development of the Institute of Interphase Interactions, created for realization of international programs. It has very close contacts with European Union. It is enough to say, that in the Institute two basic centres of COMNET and ERCOFTAC were created. Last is unique in Russia. The scientists of the Institute work on a number of Europrograms - TASIS, TRIBUNE, DELTA. The Institute has applied on the new programs for this year TELEMATICA, LEONARDO, EUROMATH, and also to the specialized programs of NATO and CNRS. Bogdanov has large experience of development of the joint programs and negotiations on them. The most important contribution was the development of the Supercomputer Centre in St.Petersburg, with CONVEX C-3440 and C-3820 supercomputers and optocable connection to Nordunet. He is the member of International Physical Society, and member of organizational committees of several international workshops. He has about 160 publications, including 4 books.
