He received his master and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in the former Soviet Union, where he was a senior research scientist at the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences before emigrating to the United States in 1980.
In the same year he was appointed full professor of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Maryland. In 1988, he was selected as a visiting research fellow of the Research and Development Center of General Electric after having consulted for the same center. In the same year (1988), he became a Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. In 1994, he became a Distinguished Lecturer of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Magnetics Society as well as a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher of the University of Maryland, College Park.
His areas of research have included plasmon resonances in nanoparticles, nonlinear magnetization dynamics induced by spin polarized current, fluctuations in nanoscale semiconductor devices, stochastic analysis of systems with hysteresis, drive independent recovery and forensics of hard disk data, computational electromagnetics and power engineering.
