Anatoly Ivanovich Petrenko (1935) - Head of the Department of System Design IASA, the supervisor of the Center for Supercomputing, Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Honored Scientist of Ukraine, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine.
He graduated with honors from the Kiev Polytechnic Institute in 1957 with a degree in "Electronic Devices", in 1960 – one year graduate from Imperial College, University of London. Since 1957, for 47 years he is working in NTUU "KPI": assistant (1957-62), Senior Lecturer (1962-63), Associate Professor (1963-70), Professor (1970-71) , head of the department ( since 1971). During 1971-74 he was working as KPI's Vice-Chancellor for Research. He defended his PhD (1961) and the doctorate (1969) in the Moscow Energy Institute. In 1971 he received the title of professor.
Prof. A.I. Petrenko is one of the founders of the country's new direction in computer science related to the creation of computer-aided design, and the organizers of the training of specialists in this field.
He proposed, studied and introduced methods for modeling of technical objects, methodology and principles of software and hardware systems, computer-aided design and adapt them to the real problems of different classes, new numerical methods for optimization and solving ill-conditioned "hard" differential-algebraic equations of mathematical models, principles of collective network systems design and others.
Prof. Petrenko created the scientific schools in the field of CAD, prepared 48 candidates and 5 PhD, published 445 scientific papers, including 27 monographs, textbooks and manuals, 15 booklets. He owned 44 inventions and 2 patents. Four monographs and 48 articles were published abroad, the monograph "ALLTED-engineering system design of electronic circuits" - in Australia (1997), "An algorithmic analysis of electronic circuits" - in the United States (1975) and the textbook "Fundamentals of Computer Aided Design" - in Bulgaria ( 1986). More than one generation of the engineers electronica were traned on his books, written personally or in collaboration with colleagues, such as: "Fundamentals of the theory of electronic circuits" (Kiev, Technics, 1968 and 1971.), "Algorithms for the analysis of electronic circuits" (Kiev, Technics, 1970 and Moscow, "Soviet Radio ", 1976)," Fundamentals of design automation "(Kiev, Technics, 1982)," Fundamentals of Computer Aided Design "(Kiev, High School, 1984 and 1985.)" table analysis of electronic circuits "(Kiev, Graduate School, 1978). Computer-aided designs PRAM, PLATA, SPARS,KOMOL, created under the direction of Professor A.I. Petrenko, are used as branch OST in dozens of leading industrial enterprises of the former Soviet Union ministries.
Three times (in 1990, 1972 and 1978) Prof. A.I. Petrenko together with co-authors received awards for KPI training manuals. In 1998 he was awarded the honorary title of "Distinguished Professor NTUU" KPI "and" Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine. "
Prof. A.I. Petrenko is the Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology (1986), associate professor at Michigan State University (USA) and Professor Emeritus Shanghai University (China), a member of the editorial boards of international journals "Circuit theory and Application" (England) and "Applied Engineering Education " (Germany), Honorary Member (Fellow) IEE and Certified Engineer (CEng) UK, a member of the International Advisory Committee of the World Conference on Engineering Education, Chairman of the specialized Council to award academic degrees and others.
Prof. A.I. Petrenko was invited to give lectures and scientific work up to 34 universities from 16 countries, including the United States, England, Canada, Italy, Germany, Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, South Korea, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, China, Spain. Information about him is included in the World Directory of "Who's is who?" and "International Book of Honor" (since 1995). Prof. A.I.Petrenko was awarded the Order "Badge of Honor" (1986), Honorary Diploma and two gold medals ENEA, Honorary Diploma of the Union Ministry of Higher Education for the best research work in the universities of the USSR (1980), the highest medal of Ministry of Higher Education of Ukraine competition for the best research work (1981) , first degree ENEA Ukraine and others. In 1998 he received the award from the Government of Poland - Poland's Ministry of Education Medal, and in 2001 the award Academy of Engineering Sciences of Ukraine "for outstanding contribution to the development of engineering."
