Brief Research History:

1975 - 1978: Theoretical study of heat transfer processes in composite bodies with non - ideal thermal contact. The following investigations were done: steady-state heat conduction problems in multilayer slab, coaxial hollow finite cylinders, spherical regions under the conditions of non - ideal thermal contact and variable boundary conditions; unsteady - state heat transfer in rotation shells with non - ideal thermal contact; conjugated heat conduction problem for thin - wall bodies in case of variable non - ideal contact; stationary temperature field in a heat exchanger with a discrete system of heat contacts.
1978 - present time: Significant attention has been given to study of the problems that are appeared at the applied superconductivity. The theory of thermal stability of composite superconductors and the theory of magnetic instabilities in superconductors were done.

The main mine results are:
- the theory of thermal stabilization of superconductor has been developed; in framework of this theory the significant role of the superconductor temperature in the development of superconducting instability has been shown;
- the obtained analysis allows to determine the upper limit of the values of critical thermal energies, transport current, magnetic field during flux jump, current charging or magnetic field variation;
- numerical solution of differential equations in partial derivatives in the composite regions of complex geometry with variable boundary - contact conditions. These investigations were based on my numerical programs of calculations of the processes that take place in superconducting wires or winding.
There are the following modes:
- one or two dimensional non - stationary calculations of the heat flow in superconducting current - carrying elements with fixed current distribution;
- one dimensional heat propagation in superconducting cables (without corresponding electrodynamics);
- solution a common proceeding of the thermal and electromagnetic processes in superconductors;
- analytic and numerical analysis of stationary and non - stationary temperature fields in elements of superconducting magnets;
- analysis of current leads.The main part of these programs were executed in Fortran for IBM PC computer type.
