In 1938, Smirnov became a researcher at the Victoria and Albert Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the United States.S.R. In 1957, he was made the Head of Mathematical Statistics.
Smirnov"s principal works in mathematical statistics and probability theory are devoted to the investigation of limit distributions by means of the asymptomatic behaviour of multiple integrals as the multiplicity is increased with limit.
He was one of the creators of the non-parametric methods in mathematical statistics and of the theory of limit distributions of order statistics.
