Potapov Alexander Alekseevich (was born in 1951.05.04) finished Ryazan State Radio Engineering Institute (Department of Radio Engineering) in 1974 and M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (Department of Physics) in 1979, Dr. Sc. (Phys.-Math.) - (1994), Chief Research of V.A. Kotelnikov Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
Academician of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (2007, Russia); Academician of the Academy of engineering science of A.M. Prokhorov (2008, Russia), President of the Sino-Russian Laboratory of Informational Technologies and Signals Fractal Processing (2011), Guangzhou, China. Professor of Kazan State Technical University of A.N. Tupolev. Full member of Nonprofit Non-Government Expert Society on Space Threat Defence – ESSTD (2015).
Editor-in-chief of the magazine “Nelineinyi mir (Non-linear world, Moscow)” (2003), Member of the editorial board of the international magazine “Electromagnetic Phenomena” (2005). Potapov A.A. - Honorary Professor of the Eurasian National University (Kazakhstan, Astana, 2010), Honorary Professor of the University of Jinan (China, Guangzhou, 2011). Honorable radio operator of the Russian Federation (2010). He was awarded 17 medals.
Author of the basic researches in the field of fractal and textural approaches to radio physics problems, radio engineering, radar and broad spectrum of adjacent scientific and technology path. Work at this field from 1979. Initiator of the pioneer researches and developments of fractal theory application in radio physics, scaling effects and fractal operators in radio systems in Russia. He was twice (1997 and 2000) awarded with Government scientific grant. Several international projects have been also conducted (the USA and China).
The results of A.A. Potapov’s scientific efforts on the fractal and textural processing of information in the presence of high-intensity noise, and also on fractal radio systems and fractal radio elements are published in summary reports of Presidium of Russian academy of science (RAS) (Scientific achievements of RAS. - M: Nauka, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013) and of the Report to the Government of the Russian Federation (2012). All these world priority results allow to move on the new level of information structure of the real non-Markov signals and fields.
Author of more that 1050 scientific publications, includes 37 monographs.
The biography of Potapov Alexander Alekseyevich is published in the encyclopaedia “Who is who in Russia” (Verlag fur Personenenzyklopadien AG - Switzerland) on personal request of publishing house. A.A. Potapov is the author of the first in Russia monograph “Fractals in radio physics and radar” (M: Logos, 2002, 664 pp., number of copies 1000), which was edited and added in 2005 (A.A. Potapov. Fractals in radio physics and radar: Sampling topology.
– M: University book, 2005, 848 pp., number of copies 2000). These two monographs became the reference books for the scientists from many fields. A.A. Potapov is also the author and co-author of series of monographs about radar and fractal application in science and engineering. He developed lectures on fractal application in radar which he reads in the Centre of specialists training Concern REI Systems (Academic A.L. Mints REI and public corporation NPK NIIDAR).
A.A. Potapov is the member of organizing committees of many international and Russia conferences.
Lecturing on the technologies which he developed in V.A. Kotelnikov IREE RAS and reports on project MNTC in USA (Washington, New-York, Huntsvill, Atlanta, Franklin) in 2000 and 2005, in China (2011) and on many international conferences (England, USA, Canada, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Scotland, Switzerland, Sweden, Mexico, China, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine) brought him
good repute in circle of international scientific community. In December 2005 american specialists noticed in the official letter addressed to academic and IREE RAS director Y.V. Gulyaev that “…Seminars were very interesting and confirmed high scientific qualification of doctor A.Potapov. Radar technologies which were presented by doctor Potapov are based on the fractal theory and are the new ones. The significance of these investigations for international community of specialists and scientists is eviden”. In the same time the scientific meeting of A.A.Potapov and the founder of fractal geometry B. Mandelbrotte happened.
Scientific Interest: radio physics, dispersion and diffraction of electromagnetic waves, radio location, image and signal processing and recognition, deterministic chaos, modern topology, fractal analysis, fractal operators, scaling effects, fractal antennas.
