Vladimir F. Vasilenko (Russian: Владимир Федорович Василенко) Russian-Canadian scientist ( Ph. D. in Plant Biology)
Dr. Vladimir Vasilenko discoveried and patented several effects of near infrared radiation (NIR) on plants and microorganisms. He has applied on green plants the main principles of Photo-biomodulation. Dr. Vasilenko is a world-class scientist in these reseach. Dr. Vasilenko is an author of several technologies and products for the organic agriculture and food storage.

Vladimir Vasilenko was born in 1963 in the oldest Russian city- Veliky Novgorod. He has received his Doctorate (Ph.D) Diploma at Lomonosov State University, Moscow, 1992. In 1998 he has immigrated with his family to Canada. He continued his postdoctoral research at the Department of Plant Agriculture, the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 1998-2002.

During three decades (since 1992), Dr. Vladimir Vasilenko has been developing the theory and practice of application of LED lighting and humic substances in agriculture, food safety and storage of perishable products. He has created several technologies and products for the agricultural and food industries through his 30 years of work.

“For years biological scientist Vladimir Vasilenko has been working on an intriguing proposition that could save lives in the world's polluted inner cities.”— By Olivia Ward, TORONTO STAR, Canada

Vladimir was a Research Associate of  the Nobel Prize Laureate, Academician Alexander PROKHOROV during a period of his work at the General Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, from 1990 to 1998. “The joint action of light and natural chemicals elaborated and advanced by Dr.Vasilenko provides promising results…”— Nobel Prize Laureate Alexander Prokhorov.

Dr. Vasilenko is a founder and CEO of Lumevit Inc. Canada (www.lumevit.com) His “Healthy Lighting Energy (HLE)” deploys invisible (NIR) and visible colours of the sunlight spectrum helping to mitigate various problems related to food shortage, high energy cost of agricultural production, and food microbial safety. We developed unique combination of light wavelengths that is used in our LED light tubes, bars and panels that simultaneously kills pathogens and stimulates plant growth and increases plant yield. This results in improved food security and microbial safety, and reduced spending on fungicides and harmful chemicals.

Dr. Vladimir Vasilenko' discoveries and technologies have been patented in many countries of the world. Totally he is an author of 7 grant patents and 12 patent applications.

Vladimir married (wife Olga) with two sons Igor and Victor. He owns and lives on his 127- acres experimental farm located 80 kilometers south-east of Ottawa- the National capital of Canada.
