About the Author
He graduated from Leningrad University in 1959 and has since been occupying a research position in the Leningrad (or St Petersburg) Branch of the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Soviet (now Russian) Academy of Sciences. There he gradually organized the Laboratory of Mathematical Methods in Physics, which he has been heading until now (in addition to holding several administrative positions).
The subject of his research reflects several new tendencies in modern mathematical physics, some of which were pioneered by Prof Faddeev himself. Among them one can mention quantization of the Yang-Mills field, scattering theory, and quantum theory of solitons. He is author or coauthor of 5 monographs and 150 papers.
Prof Faddeev was an invited speaker and/or lecturer at numerous international conferences, workshops and schools. He was President of the International Mathematical Union from 1986 to 1990, and is a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a foreign member of several academies. Among his academic achievements are the Danni Heinemann Prize in Mathematical Physics, the Dirac Medal and the UAP Prize.
