Scintific biography: Graduated from the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, with specialty “Chemical technology of astringent materials” in 1973. Since 1972, he worked as an engineer in A.V. Dumansky Institute of Colloid and Water Chemistry. In 1974 he became PhD student of the Institute. In 1979 he defended his PhD thesis (diploma WAC USSR №030719) on specialty “Technology of refractory nonmetallic materials.” In 2009 he defended his doctoral thesis on specialty “Technology of inorganic substances” (diploma of NAS of Ukraine № DD 007 401). In 2001 he was given the academic rank of senior researcher in “Colloid Chemistry” (certificate AU №001816)
In 1979, he worked as a junior researcher in the A. V. Dumansky Institute of Colloid and Water Chemistry, and from 1980 to 1986 was working as a senior researcher of this Institute. In 1980-1984 he was a researcher and consultant of the Presidium of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. At the same time Vitaliy Anatolevych worked as scientific secretary in the Department of natural disperse systems in A.V.Bogatsky Physico-Chemical Institute, combining this scientific and organizational position with scientific work in the same Department. In 1992, he was approved by the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine as director for scientific work of the newly created Institute of Biocolloid Chemistry NAS of Ukraine. Since 1996 he has also become the head of physicochemical geomechanics research department in this Institute. And he holds these last two positions till now, combining them with the position of Professor in the Department of Physical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology NTUU “KPI”.
He has carried out scientific management and the implementation of more than 15 departmental topics of NAS of Ukraine, leaded the implementation of several projects of the State scientific and technical programs of the Foundation for Fundamental Research and target complex programs of fundamental research of the NAS of Ukraine, and as a responsible contractor he has been involved in the projects of the Innovation Fund of Ukraine, in NATO grant, in state ordered program projects and complex programs of MES of Ukraine etc.

• His summary experience of scientific work is 40 years.
• Three PhD thesis and one doctor thesis was prepared and successfully defended under his leadership. And another PhD thesis work is preparing and one PhD student studies under his leadership now.

In 1983 he was awarded by the medal of the Academy of Sciences of UkrSSR with prizes for young scientists for a series of scientific papers, also he was awarded by the medal “In memory of the 1500 anniversary of Kiev”, and in 2010 – Honorary award of the Ukrainian National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce “Golden Scythian Pectoral”.
