July 15, 2017 was 70 years old assistant professor of the department of electromechanical equipment of energy-intensive industries IEE, candidate of technical sciences Victor M. Slidenko.

V.M. Slidenko graduated from the Kharkiv Aircraft Institute in 1971 with the specialty "Aircraft Engineering". He worked in production, studied at correspondence postgraduate study at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute. In 1986 he defended his Ph.D. thesis on specialty 05.05.06 - "Mining machines". In 1988, he began working as a lecturer at the KPI, since 1995 - an associate professor of the department of the electromechanical equipment of energy-intensive industries of the IEE.
Viktor Mikhailovich is one of the leading teachers of the department, conducts all kinds of pedagogical activities, reads disciplines "Complexes, machines and equipment", "Statistical modeling", "Mathematical modeling of EMC", etc. He is the author of more than 180 scientific works (including three monographs) and 70 inventions protected by copyright authorizations and patents.

The priority directions of scientific publications by V.M. Slidenko are impulse pulse-wave processes, systems and devices in the mining and oil and gas industry with the use of the information technologies, powerful dissipaters of energy on the basis of repulsive clusters. He takes an active part in scientific studies on state taxation on topics "Adaptive manifold of vibratory destruction of rocks and extraction of minerals", "Geotechnical complex with the intellectually adaptive executive body of complex of impulsive destruction of rocks and extraction of minerals "," Energy-absorbing adaptive impulse-resonant action complex for the development of oil fields and mining ", etc. Viktor Mikhailovich is Head of the Center for Energy-Efficient Impulse-Wave Structures, Technologies and Educational Systems, which was created on his initiative in 1998.

V.M. Slidenko is the founder of the annual scientific and methodical conference of students and professors of specialty "Electromechanical systems of geotechnical productions" on problems of improvement of machines and equipment of geotechnical productions. He holds an active civil position, has friendly relations with the staff of the department, and respects the students and professors.

The staff of the department of electromechanical equipment of energy-intensive industries, friends and colleagues sincerely congratulate jubilee, want a solid health and creative inspiration.
