Anatoly Markowitsch Schabotinsky
Anatoli Markowitsch Schabotinski ( Russian Анатолий Маркович Жаботинский , scientific transliteration Anatolij Markovič Žabotinskij , English transcription Anatol M. Zhabotinsky ; born January 17, 1938 in Moscow ; † September 16, 2008 ) was a Soviet physicist .
Between 1962 and 1973 Schabotinski worked at the Institute for Biological Physics, where he published his fundamental work on the subject of oscillations and wave phenomena in chemical systems. He explained the oscillating chemical reaction ( Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction ) published by Boris Pavlovich Belousov in 1959 in a publication in 1964 as a non-equilibrium phenomenon.
Shabotinsky had been a professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and head of the laboratory for mathematical modeling at the Institute for the Biological Investigation of Chemical Compounds in Moscow since 1980 .
At the end of his career he worked as an adjunct professor at Brandeis University in Irving R. Epstein's research group on oscillating reactions .
He was awarded the Lenin Prize for explaining the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction . In 1990 he and Stefan Müller received the Max Planck Research Award .
