armjan Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Does anyone know about Armenian achievements or discoveries in Sciences or Mathematics? Յուսամ արաբներէն կամ թուրքերէն պակաս չենք... style_images/master/snapback.png perhaps this list falls under science, engineering and the 2 of interest. surely... Artem Mikoyan - Creator and namesake of "MiG" Fighters of the Soviet Union and Russia. Victor Ambartsumian (1908-1996) (Astrophysics)-he founded in the University the first department of astrophysics in the Soviet Union. Ambartsumian has carried out some other investigations of great importance in astrophysics as well, such as the study of interstellar absorbing matter in the Galaxy (the idea of its ragged structure, the theory of fluctuations of light of the Milky Way), works on stellar dynamics (establishing of the base of new, statistical mechanics of stellar systems), statistical investigations of flare stars, and others. Ambartsumian was an outstanding organizer of science, who significantly promoted the international scientific cooperation. In 1948-1955 he was the vice-president, and in 1961-64 - the president of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), in 1968 and 1970 he was twice elected the president of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). His many-sided activity accepted high estimate. He was awarded governmental prizes, orders and medals of a number of countries (Twice Hero of Socialist Labour in 1968 and 1978, USSR State Prizes in 1946 and 1950, Russian State Prize in 1995, National Hero of Armenia in 1994), gold medals of a number of academies and scientific societies. He was elected honorary and foreign member of 28 Academies of Sciences, including USA, UK, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Greece, Czechoslovakia, India, Argentina, and other National Academies, honorary member of scientific societies of many countries, honorary doctor of the Universities of Canberra (Australia), La Plata (Argentina), Warsaw and Torun (Poland), Praha (Czechoslovakia), Liege (Belgium) and Sorbonne (France).V.A.Ambartsumian has published about 20 books and booklets, more than 200 scientific papers, numerous popular articles. http://www.aras.am/Ambartsumian.html Associate Professor Levon Khachigian of the UNSW Centre for Vascular Research has won the prestigious University of New South Wales Eureka Prize for Scientific Research. The prize is awarded for outstanding, curiosity-driven scientific research by an Australian scientist under the age of 40, which is judged to be under-appreciated by the Australian public. Dr. Gagik Shmavonyan-Dr. Shmavonyan is also a Senior Research Scientist and Head of Semiconductor Materials and Devices Group at the Heliotechnics Laboratory, Scientific Industrial Complex, Research Division at the State Engineering University of Armenia, since May 2000. James Bagian, M.D. Astronaut American Astronaut Kevork Abazajian(Astrophysics) check out his cv http://krovek.home.comcast.net/cv.pdf Asatour Sarafian - inventor of auto transmission, many other ind./railroad tools, the gun that shoots tetanus shots. There is a book and a stamp with at least one of his inventions. this would be in mechanical engineering. Dr Raymond V. Damadian - would probably be too humble to accept the title ‘super-scientist’ but the many people whose lives have been saved by the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanning technology he developed might think otherwise. Viktor Hambartsumian- (Astrophysics)During his time at the observatory, Viktor developed theories of young star clusters, and computing the mass ejected from nova stars. also, open source software developement recently... "OPEN SOURCE ARMENIA is the first-of-its-kind project in the country aimed at developing cutting edge technologies through endorsing advantages of Open Source. It is supported by a pool of international private, public and academic institutions and run by the Union of IT Enterprises." http://www.opensourcearmenia.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
