Didenko, Andrey Nikolaevich

He was born in 1932 in the village of Rozhnev Log (in the modern Rebrikhinsky district of the Altai Territory ) of the West Siberian Territory . In 1955 he graduated from the Physics Department of Tomsk State University , in 1955-1958 he studied at the graduate school of Tomsk Polytechnic Institute ; to complete the dissertation work during graduate school he was sent to the department of statistical physics and mechanics of the physics department of Moscow State University . In January 1959, he successfully defended a dissertation at Moscow State University and became a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences.

At the end of graduate school, A. N. Didenko began working at the Scientific Research Institute of Nuclear Physics, Electronics, and Automation at TPI, in which he went from a junior researcher to a director (1968-1987). In 1966 he defended his doctoral dissertation, in 1968 he became a professor. In 1984 he was elected a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the specialty “Physics”.

In 1987, A.N. Didenko was transferred to Moscow to the apparatus of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1987-1989 he was an adviser to the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences; Since 1988, he headed the department at MEPhI . In 1990-2002 he was deputy academician-secretary of the Department of Physical and Technical Problems of Energy of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Since 2002 - Advisor to the RAS.

He prepared 15 doctors and over 70 candidates of sciences, his student is TPU professor Alexander Ilyich Ryabchikov ^[1] , professor Andrei Nikolaevich Didenko .

He died on January 10, 2017 . He was buried at the Vvedensky cemetery (plot 30c) [1] .

A. N. Didenko was a specialist in the field of physics of charged-particle beams, powerful microwave electronics, and microwave energy; he was a pioneer in the study of superconducting waveguides and resonators in the USSR. He created a new scientific direction - pulsed microwave energy. Under the guidance of Didenko, powerful microwave subnanosecond microwave generators were created for the first time in the world based on the time compression method, which made it possible to solve many problems of radar and deep sounding of various soils in a new way.
