From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aleksandr Viktorovich Gurevich (Russian: Александр Викторович Гуревич) (b. September 19, 1930[1]) is a Soviet and Russian physicist. In 1992 he proposed the theory of lightning initiation known as the "runaway breakdown".
Gurevich graduated from Moscow State University in 1952. In 1984 he became a Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Russian Academy of Sciences since 1991).[2] He is a professor, the head of the I. E. Tamm Theoretical Department at the Lebedev Physical Institute.
[edit] Fields of Research
His work has focused on:
- Plasma kinetics (1955-)
- Ionospheric physics (1955-)
- Nonlinear dynamics of non-collisional plasmas (1963-)
- Nonlinear waves in dispersive hydrodynamics (1973-)
- Artificial ionized layers in the atmosphere (1977-)
- The electrodynamics of neutron star magnetospheres (1983-1993)
- Nonlinear dynamics of dark matter (1988-)
