Fedorov Petro Mykolajovych
|
associate professor of Astronomy Department; Phone: +38 (057) 707-55-58; |
In 1977 he graduated from the Physics Department of M. Gorky Kharkov State University. In 1986 he defended a PhD thesis "Lateral refraction in daytime observations". In 2012 he defended Doctor-of-science Thesis “The XPM catalogue as an independent realization of the extragalactic reference system of coordinates in the optical and near infrared range of wavelengths”. He is a Laureate of the Fedorov E. P. Prize of NASU.
Since 1995 he has been working at the Kharkiv Karazin University on the positions: a senior research fellow, acting head of department, head of department, head of the laboratory of Astronomical Institute. Since 2004 - associate professor of astronomy. Hi is a member of the International Astronomical Union.
Scientific interests - the improvement of existing and creation of new independent realizations of the inertial system of celestial coordinates based on ground observations of stars, galaxies, and Solar System bodies; kinematics of the Galaxy.
He lectures a course on "Astrometry".
