He led the development of telescopic systems, aerial photography lenses, a solar simulator for testing spacecraft, spectral instruments for a 6-meter BTA.

Developed methods for designing optical systems based on the theory of third-order aberrations.

The author of the monograph Methods of Calculation of Optical Systems (1937).
