Rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, head of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Andrei Rudskoy has been elected Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The results of the vote were announced today, on the final day of the general meeting of the Academy members.
During the meeting, the rector of the Polytechnic was solemnly presented with the Dmitry Chernov gold medal. The award is named after the Russian metallurgist and inventor Dmitry Konstantinovich Chernov. Chernov was one of the leading experts in steelmaking of his time. He is the author of a classic course of lectures on steelmaking that has been republished many times. Several generations of Russian artillerymen went through the school under the guidance of this famous metallurgist. D.K. Chernov’s contribution to the theory and practice of metallurgy was highly praised by domestic and foreign scientists.
It is a great honor for me to receive the D.K. Chernov Gold Medal. This award has been given since 1995 by the Department of Physical Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials of the Russian Academy of Sciences for outstanding work in the field of physical and chemical analysis, chemistry and technology. Of course, for metallurgists, this is the highest level of recognition of the results of research and work. I am confident that the developments in the field of new technologies for thermoplastic processing of materials that were awarded the medal will contribute to ensuring technological leadership and security of our country. I serve Russia and Russian science! – said Andrey Ivanovich.
