Biography
He came from the Ovsyannikov noblemen of the Kursk province . Born July 13, 1861 in Nizhny Novgorod in the family of architect Pavel Abramovich Ovsyannikov. He received secondary school education in Annenshul in St. Petersburg; then he studied at the Riga Polytechnic School , which he graduated in 1892 with honors and the degree of "chemical engineer" [1] . He was left to prepare for professorship. While working as a laboratory assistant, he studied the coal of Donetsk mines and its thermal properties. After he became head of the laboratory of techno-chemical analysis, he continued his research and became an assistant professor of technical chemistry.
In 1885, he worked as an assistant professor at the New Alexandria Agricultural Institute , then was transferred to the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute of Emperor Nicholas II to the Department of Chemical Technology. In 1886 he received a scholarship from the Minister of Education, which allowed him to graduate from the Higher Technical Institute in Aachen , becoming a metallurgist, as well as the mechanical faculty of the Paris Central Institute. He performed a scientific study to determine the mechanical properties of open-hearth steel by chemical composition and structure, for which he was awarded a gold medal and a prize from the French government.
He worked at many mechanical and metallurgical plants in Germany, England, Belgium, Italy, America.
In 1911, he held the position of head of the department of ferrous and non-ferrous metals of the LTI, then, after the formation of the Institute of Precision Mechanics and Optical Engineering, he headed the laboratory “Metallurgy of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals”. Despite the noble origin, which in those days was a serious hindrance to the career of a scientist, Boris Pavlovich was not only left as a brilliant specialist, but also repeatedly noted his merits.
Since 1931 he worked at ITMO as a professor at the Department of Metal Technology.
The date of death and the place of burial of the scientist is not known.
