Yuri B. Il’in, born in 1939, Ph.D. in Engineering.
Professional education: Moscow State Mining University, Electromechanical Faculty (1958–1959)/Moscow Power Engineering Institute (National Technical
University), Radio Engineering Faculty (1959–1964)/
Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and
Mathematics (1964–1968).
He graduated from Radio Engineering Faculty of
MPEI since 1964 just after graduation before he left
this institute of his own accord in 1997. At the beginning, he worked on Department of Radio Transmitting
Devices, where engaged in the construction of masers,
and theoretical study of steady-state and dynamic
behavior
of
a
multimode
lasers
with
non-homogeneously broadened spectral line and practical questions of development of fiber-optic communication lines. After graduation of Ph.D. course and
defending a Ph.D. thesis in 1986, he worked on Department of Performing of Oscillations and Signals in Radio
Engineering Faculty of MPEI. At the same time, he was
with SIMVOL Ltd. Company in Moscow, Russia. Here
he led the pioneering works on the creation of Optoelectronic Oscillators and Magneto-Infrared Laser Diode
Therapeutic devices. Since 1997, he was with OPTEN
Ltd. Company in Moscow, Russia. Here he worked as a
Department of Education Programs manager until 2005.
At the same time, he was engaged in creating, organizing, and conducting courses in Russia and the United
States of America (USTTI) of advanced training for
senior engineering personnel of electric power companies in Russia and a number of countries. These courses
were devoted to the technology of laying fiber-optic
communication cables overhead the phase wires of
long-height high-voltage power lines. From 2005 to
the present time he works as a freelancer scientist. His
academic experience spans over 30 years.
He worked as assistant professor, senior teacher and
associate professor.
