International Conference on INVERSE PROBLEMS OF MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS

Alekseev
Anatolii Semenovich

A.S. Alekseev (born October 12, 1928) graduated from the Leningrad University (mathematical-mechanical faculty) with specialization in Mechanics in 1952. He received his Doctorate of Science in 1955 and became Full Professor in 1966 (Geophysics). Prof. Alekseev's thesis was entitled "Direct and inverse problems of seismology". His scientific interests are concentrated on theoretical and computational geophysics.

From 1955 to 1963 he worked in the Leningrad Division of the Mathematical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Since 1963 he has been working at the Computing Center, SB RAS.

Since 1980 A.S. Alekseev has been the Director of the Novosibirsk Computing Center, SB RAS (called now the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics).

Prof. Alekseev was awarded a State Prize for the ray method in 1982.

A.S. Alekseev is a Professor and the Head of the Chair of Mathematical Geophysics, Novosibirsk State University.

There are 6 Full Professors and 32 Ph.D. among his students.

Prof. Alekseev's main results are: ray method theory (1958); study of the problem of identification of explosions and earthquakes (1960-62); statement and solution of inverse dynamic problems of seismics (1962); solution of the two-dimensional inverse kinematic problem of seismics (1967); investigation of the nature of waves in geophysical seismic problems (1961); quantitative statement of combined inverse geophysical problems (1991).

Prof. A.S. Alekseev is a member of The American Mathematical Society and The European Association of Exploration Geophysicists, a member of the editorial board of the journals "Applied Mathematics Letters", "Computational and Applied Mathematics" and "Earthquake Prediction". He is the Editor-in-Chief of Siberian Journal of Numerical Mathematics.

A.S. Alekseev has published about 250 research papers and books.
