My Home Page: M.A.Tarasov

Hello fellow Internet surfer and welcome to my home page. I'm very glad that you made it this far . . . and I hope that you'll stick around long enough to get to know just a little bit more about me and my life.

My Background

I was born Moscow in 1954. I graduated from Physics department of Moscow StateUniversity in 1977 and since then have been working at the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics of Russian Academy of Sciences.  During this time I defended two thecises, the degree of Candidat of Sciences in physics and mathematics was confered in 1983, and the second of  Doctor of sciences in physics and mathematics, was confered in 1997.

 List of my publications  includes over 100 papers in scientific journals and proceedings of international conferences. You can see reprints of selected publications here. My recent activities are focused in design, fabrication and experimental studies of a novel device: Cold Electron Bolometer.

Fore some details in biography, here's my resume.

My family consists of my wife Natali and two sons Paul and Alexey, students at the moment.

My Interests

I guess that the best - and fastest - way to really get to know me is by discovering what I like. So here goes ...  I love to spent my time at the countryside, where I build myself (and with the help of my family) a country house. There is a small garden around it and it's a pleasure to be there in summer, autumn, spring, winter, any time. Besides that I spend a lot of time in improving and repairing my old car, that is a good way to relax doing simple things that bring some visible  results.
