Volodymyr Brzhezytskyi, Acting Head of Department of High Voltage Engineering and Electrophysics of Faculty of Electric Power Engineering and Automatics, celebrated his 75 anniversary on 16 February 2017.
After graduating from KPI in 1963, speciality "Electrical machines and devices" V. O. Brzhezytskyi worked as a design engineer of the technical department of Glukhivskyi plant "Electropanel". In autumn of the same year, he entered postgraduate studies of the Institute of Electrodynamics of Academy of Science, USSR, speciality "Conversion of energy". After finishing postgraduate studies and defending PhD thesis he worked as a junior researcher at the Department of magnetic hydrodynamics and electromechanical systems of the same institute.
In 1973 he started working as a senior Ukrainian researcher of the National Center for Metrology and Standardization of State Standard of the USSR. He has been Head of the Research Laboratory measurement of high voltage power frequency since 1974. Volodymyr Brzhezytskyi became head of a research sector of metrological support of high voltage power frequency in 1979. After that, he has been an acting head of research department metrological provision of measuring high voltages since 1980.
He was appointed to the position of associate professor of the department of high voltage equipment at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (by the competition). The department of high voltage engineering was renamed to the department of High Voltage Engineering and Electrophysics in 1988, and V. O. Brzhezytskyi was appointed as its deputy head. In 1992 he defended his doctoral thesis, and since 1993 he holds the position of Head of Department.
During his work at the Department, Volodymyr Brzhezytskyi showed himself as a high-erudite scholar, lecturer and specialist who solves complex technical problems at the highest level, based on his experience. He is the author and co-author of over 300 scientific publications and presentations at international conferences, 35 scientific pieces of research carried out and implemented in the production by Department of High Voltage Engineering and Electrophysics; he is the author of 15 inventions. He prepared 6 candidates of sciences. A set of measurement units of higher precision voltage 330 kV and 500 kV was developed under his leadership. Volodymyr pays great attention to educational work among students, training of highly qualified personnel, he actively participates in the life of the department.
The staff, headed by the hero of the occasion, pays great attention to the implementation of scientific developments in the framework of the Science Park "Kyiv Polytechnic". Over the past five years, there have been conducted contractual research projects totalling more than 1 million hryvnias. Department of High Voltage Engineering and Electrophysics is the basic institution in the choice of high nonlinear constraints in Ukraine.
Volodymyr Brzhezytskyi is a responsive and friendly person. He gained a deserved authority and respect among colleagues and students due to his conscientious attitude to his professional duties.
On the day of his 75th anniversary, his colleagues, graduates and university students wish Volodymyr many bright days, health, happiness and success in everyday affairs, fruitful work in science and training specialists of a modern level.
