Artem Atayev

Artem Eremovich Atayev (Артём Ерёмович Атаев; born 23 November 1938 is a Soviet/Russian scientist in the field of condensed matter physics.

Early life
Artem Eromovich Atayev was born in 1938. In 1956, he finished school with a gold medal in the city of Samarkand. In 1962 he graduated from the Moscow Power Engineering Institute while simultaneously attending the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University.

In 1970, he defended his thesis on the extraction of electron beams from the mercury arc discharge plasma. In 1984, he defended his doctoral dissertation on the ignition of mercury discharge light sources.

Career
His areas of scientific interests include: light field theory, processes in gas discharges, and multi-functional discharge sources of radiation. He works at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute of the Department of Lighting as a professor. He gives lectures on physical fundamentals of electronic engineering, computer methods for calculating electronic circuits, basics of lighting technology and ion devices.
