Jordan Malinowski
Jordan Malinowski (born June 3, 1923 in Sliven , † 1996 ) was a Bulgarian physical chemist who dealt with the fundamentals of the development process in photography .
Life
Malinowski attended the American College in Sofia with the degree in 1943, took part in the Second World War as a soldier and then studied chemistry in particular at the State University of Sofia with the degree in 1948. He then did research at the Institute of Physics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and was after the Doctorate in 1958 assistant professor and from 1964 professor at the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the Academy. In 1969 he received the doctoral degree (corresponding to a western habilitation) according to the Soviet system. In 1967 he founded the Central Laboratory for Photographic Processes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, of which he was director until 1992.
He provided the experimental proof of the importance of defect electrons in the photographic development process (measurement of drift, lifespan, mobility, etc.), which he also examined theoretically and enriched in practice with new methods and photosensitive substances.
In 1980 he received the Carus Prize . In 1989 he became a member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and in 1992 its president. In 1988 he received the Lieven-Gevaert Medal from the Society for Imaging Science and Technology.
