Ivan Alexandrovich Terskov

Ivan Alexandrowitsch Terskow ( Russian Иван Александрович Терсков ; born September 11, 1918 in the village of Janowo near Krasnoyarsk ; † February 24, 1989 in Krasnoyarsk) was a Russian biophysicist and university professor .

Life

Terskov's father, Alexander Nikolayevich Terskow, came from a farming family and was the captain of the Yenisei shipping company. In 1934 Terskow began studying at the Krasnoyarsk Construction and Assembly Technology Center. In 1935 he became a student at the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute, at whose physics and mathematics faculty he graduated with honors in 1939.

In November 1939 Terskow was drafted into the Red Army and completed his training as a tank operator . At the beginning of the German-Soviet War he commanded a platoon of the 95th Panzer Regiment on the Central Front . In 1941 he was wounded and taken prisoner from which he was able to escape. Thereupon he fought as commander of a platoon of the 21st Storm Battalion ( 1st Baltic Front ). In 1944 he was wounded again, so that after the healing in July 1945 he was demobilized as an invalid group II (with 1 lung ) .

In 1945 Terskow became an assistant at the chair of physics at the Krasnoyarsk Medical Institute. In 1949 he organized biophysical studies in Krasnoyarsk with Iossif Issajewitsch Gitelson . Terskow developed a self-regulating photoelectric spectrophotometer and the erythrogram method to characterize the erythrocyte population . He also developed an erythema hemometer. In 1952 he defended his candidate dissertation on his spectrophotometer and the application of blood analysis for the doctorate to candidate of physical-mathematical sciences . He then became head of the Department of Physics at the Krasnoyarsk Medical Institute.

In 1956 Terskow became head of the laboratory for biophysics of the new institute of physics of the Siberian department (SO) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) in Krasnoyarsk and in 1957 head of the department of biophysics . The institute director Leonid Wassiljewitsch Kirensky was Terskov's scientific teacher. In 1958 Terskow defended his doctoral dissertation on the spectrophotometric investigation of coarsely dispersed color particles of biological origin for a doctorate in biological sciences . His investigations of the erythrocyte system led to a quantitative description of the system's reactions to external influences.

In 1968 Terskow was elected a Corresponding Member of the AN-SSSR, and he became Vice Director of the Institute of Physics. In 1969 he became director of the Institute of Physics and head of the new chair of biophysics at Krasnoyarsk State University. In 1981 he was elected a full member of the AN-SSSR, and he became director of the new Institute for Biophysics of the SO of the AN-SSSR. He investigated the conditions for the control of micro- and macro-organism populations in order to be able to realize experimentally complex ecosystems up to closed ecosystems. He developed a mathematical theory of growth . Terkov's students included Yevgeny Alexandrowitsch Waganow and Andrei Georgievich Degermendschi .

Terskow was in Moscow on the kuntsevo cemetery buried.
