He has been deputy director of this laboratory from 1976 until 1989 and became director of the FLNR, a position which he held until 1997.
Apart of the synthesis of heavy elements his research interests span a wide range of topics which he has pursued during his scientific life. He has contributed also to applied nuclear science: track membranes for microfilters, high purity isotope production for medical studies (Jodine 123, Plutonium 237), physics and techniques of heavy ion accelerators.
In heavy ion reactions he has contributed in particular to the study of the fusion and fission processes and more recently to the study of interactions and the properties of neutron-rich exotic nuclei. He is now head of a group in the same laboratory and strongly engaged in the experiments to synthesize isotopes of the elements with Z=113 and 114.
