After obtaining PhD I worked at the Astrophyscs and Cosmology
Department (chair Ya.B. Zel'dovich from 1963 to 1982) of the
Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics until 1987.
In January 1987 I joined
the Theoretical Department (chair Ya.B. Zel'dovich from 1982 until his
death on December 2, 1987) of the
Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems .
Professor at the
Department of Physics and Astronomy
University of Kansas since 1989.
My main interests are dynamics and statistics of the supercluster - void
network in spacial distribution of galaxies in the universe also referred to as the cosmic web.
In particular, I am interested
in nonlinear dynamics of gravitational instability which is the major
mechanism for the formation of a large variety of objects in the universe.
I am interested in geometrical and topological statistical descriptors of the distribution of mass and galaxies in space such as the percolation statistics
or Minkowski functionals.
