Nobel Prize winner from Russia at 79 On July 26 Svyatoslav Timashev, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, will celebrate his 79th birthday as well as the 58th anniversary of the launch of a research and educational career. He was born in Harbin, northeastern China, one of the main transit points for trade with Russia. Mr. Timashev graduated cum laude from the Ural Federal University (formerly the Ural Polytechnic Institute). From 1987 up to the present Professor Timashev has been the head of the reliability laboratory at the department of complex problems of engineering under the Russian Academy of Sciences. In addition, Svyatoslav Timashev is the director and scientific advisor at the research and engineering center “Reliability and Service Life of Large Systems of Machines”. It is important to note that together with a group of scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Svyatoslav A. Timashev won a collective Nobel Peace Prize for evolving methods of the sequestration of carbon dioxide from the earths atmosphere and its disposal. They formed the International Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Department of Environmental Protection in 2007. Mr. Timashev set a new trend in the theory of reliability of large mechanical systems. He is the holder of nine copyright patents on inventions and author of more than 250 publications including 19 monographs. Svyatoslav Timashev created software systems for the optimal management of the operation of oil and gas pipelines, three generations of industrial electronic systems of vibration protection, vibration diagnostics, tribodiagnostics and monitoring of energy machinery and equipment. He evolved a novel method for optimizing the operation of a complex object to meet the criteria of reliability and safety. These systems are successfully used in the Russian aircraft industry, heavy engineering, metallurgy, oil and gas industry, among others. All the above work has received wide recognition that is evidenced by Mr. Timashev’s election as a member of the Russian Academy of Quality Problems, the Washington Academy of Sciences, as well as member of the Fulbright Academy of Science and Technology.
