Biography

Prof. Gennadi Milinevsky is the professor of International Center of Future Science and College of Physics, Jilin University, the Principal Scientist of Atmosphere Optics Department in Main Astronomical Observatory National

Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the Principal Scientist of National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine.

He received his BS (1969), MS (1974), Candidate Degree (1980) and Doctor of Science Degree (2002) from Kiev State University T.G. Shevchenko, and worked as the head of Space Physics Laboratory Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv during 2008-2022. He was awarded the Medal "For Service" II Stage and the Fedorov Prize of the National Academy of Sciences in 2021 in Ukraine.

His main research interest is atmospheric research, polar research, and remote sensing technology. He has co-authored over 270 research papers including Remote Sensing, Atmosphere Chemistry and Physics, Climate Dynamics, Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, Atmosphere, Antarctic Science, etc. He obtained 4 authorized Patents and published 4 books. He also has extensive practical experience in Antarctic expeditions. He played a key role in the event that the United Kingdom transferred Faraday Antarctic Base to Ukraine in 1996 that was renamed as Akademik Vernadsky station. He also provided the Antarctic scientific research for many years, and served as the Head of the Ukrainian Antarctic scientific Expeditions three times. He was the winner of the Special Contribution Award to Akademik Vernadsky Station, and the Presidential Award of Ukraine. Currently, he serves as the Member of the American Geophysical Union, Member of the International General Capacity Building Panel, Associate Editor of Remote Sensing Journal, Associate Editor Frontiers in Satellite Missions, etc.
