He received his Dr.S. from Moscow State University, under the supervision of Samarii Galpern.[1] He taught mathematics at Moscow State University for nearly 30 years,[2] then held a visiting professor position at the University of Delaware[3] before taking his current position at UNCC.

His research concerns differential equations, scattering theory, and spectral theory.[2] A survey of his research and publications is also presented in an article on his 80th birthday in the Russian Mathematical Surveys (Russian) and (English).
