Prof. Valery Zorkaltsev
Baikal State University, Russia
Biography:
From 1972 to 2022, he worked at of the USSR Academy of Sciences of the
USSR. Participated in research on optimization of options for the development
of the fuel and energy complex of the USSR. Conducted theoretical and applied
research on methods for detecting and predicting seasonal fluctuations in the
USSR industry. Has been developing new optimization methods (interior point
algorithms). He led a research group that was engaged in creating models for
managing the functioning of the fuel and energy complex of the USSR under
large-scale disturbances. He carried out a series of researches to find the optimal composition
of means to ensure the reliability of fuel supply, to analyze the intensity and
synchronicity of fluctuations in fuel needs based on 100-year meteorological
observations in the economic regions of the USSR. He organized the development
of economic and mathematical models for the analysis of options for the
development of regional energy systems. He was the head of the Energy section
in the scientific Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the economical
problems of the North.
He worked as the head of the laboratory "modeling and optimization of
energy systems" and head of the Department "Applied mathematics"
at The Institute of Energy systems SB RAS (Irkutsk). He developed and
researched optimization methods, mechanisms of functioning of energy systems in
a market economy, price indices and inflationary processes, models of imperfect
competition markets, and conducted theoretical research on comparative analysis
of approximation methods.
For many years, he was the organizer of the
Baikal international school "Optimization methods and their
applications", the all-Russian scientific conference "Equilibrium
models of economy and energy", and the scientific seminar "Insurance
and risk".
In 2022 was elected to the Laboratory of Mathematical Modeling at Baikal State
University.
