Timeline

1931

Valery Leonidovich Pokrovsky (Валерий Леонидович Покровский; born 1 January 1931) is a Soviet and Russian physicist.

He is a member of the Landau Institute in Chernogolovka near Moscow in Russia and a Distinguished Professor of Theoretical Physics and holder of the William R. Thurman ’58 Chair in Physics at Texas A&M University.

Valery Leonidovich Pokrovsky was born on 1 January 1931 to Leonid Pokrovsky and Raisa Razumovsky in the former Soviet Union, growing up during the Stalinist era and World War II.

1948

In 1948, he became a student of the Department of Physics and Mathematics of Kharkov University.

1953

Despite a politically-motivated attempt to expel him, Pokrovsky completed his master's degree, graduating from Kharkov University, Ukrainian SSR, USSR in May 1953.

Pokrovsky and his wife, Svetlana Krylova, were then sent to Novosibirsk, where Pokrovsky became a student of an exiled scientist, Yuri Borisovich Rumer.

For his Ph.D. work, Pokrovsky developed a type of polynomial and extended Charles L. Dolph's theory of optimal linear arrays.

1955

In 1955, Yuri Rumer's rights of citizenship were restored and he began to build up his research group.

1957

Valery Pokrovsky defended his PhD thesis at Tomsk University in 1957.

In 1957, the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was established.

1965

He is best known for his pioneering and fundamental contributions to the modern theory of phase transitions, together with Alexander Patashinski, in 1965, as well as the analysis of transformations between commensurate and incommensurate superstructures in two-dimensional systems, the Pokrovsky-Talapov transition.

1966

Rumer became Director of its Institute of Radiophysics and Pokrovsky became an academy scientist, where he remained until 1966.

In 1966, Pokrovsky was invited to join the newly founded Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in Chernogolovka.

He also worked with researchers at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

1984

He has twice received the Landau Prize of the Soviet Academy of Science, in 1984 and in 2018.

Valery Pokrovsky received several awards, including twice receiving the Landau Prize of the Soviet Academy of Science:first in 1984 with Alexander Patashinski for work on phase transition theory and second in 2018 “for fundamental contribution to statistical physics and quantum mechanics.” He became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1999, and received the Humboldt Prize in 2000.

1990

In 1990, he spent a six-month sabbatical with Heiner Müller-Krumbhaar at the Condensed Matter Division of the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Jülich, Germany.

1992

In 1992, Pokrovsky became a professor of physics at Texas A&M University in the United States, while remaining a Senior Scientist at the Landau Institute.

His areas of research are quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and condensed matter theory.

2005

He was awarded the Lars Onsager Prize of the American Physical Society in 2005 "For fundamental and original contributions to statistical physics, including development of the scaling theory for correlation functions near critical points and of theories for commensurate-incommensurate phase transitions."
