Congratulations to Yuri Uzikov on his 75th birthday!
Y. N. Uzikov graduated with honors from the Physics Department of the Kazakh State University in 1973, specializing in "Physics, Theoretical Physics". He began his career as an assistant at the Physics Department of the Pavlodar Industrial Institute. He then progressed from a trainee to an associate professor at the Physics Department of KazGU (Kazakh State University). Since 1994, Yuri Nikolaevich has been working at JINR.
His research interests include quantum collision theory, particle physics, the structure of the lightest nuclei, short-range nucleon correlations in nuclei, baryon resonances, antiproton-nucleus interactions, spin phenomena in hadron-nucleus processes, and discrete symmetries of fundamental interactions. In 1982, Yuri Nikolaevich defended his candidate dissertation, "Microscopic description of reactions of quasi-elastic knockout of complex fragments by high-energy protons at large momentum transfer", at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR. In 2000, he defended his doctorate dissertation, "Interaction of intermediate-energy protons with the lightest nuclei at large momentum transfer", at the Dissertation Council of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, JINR.
Yuri Nikolaevich Uzikov is a member of the ANKE (COSY), PAX (GSI), JEDI (COSY), BM@N (JINR), SPD NICA collaborations, and the GDH&SPASCHARM&NN project. Yuri Nikolaevich is a co-author of 197 scientific papers, 120 of which are in peer-reviewed journals. He is a laureate of the JINR Prize in 2010 (Second Prize for a series of experimental works as part of a team of authors) and in 2013 (JINR Prize in Theoretical Physics).
Y. N. Uzikov teaches the lecture course "Quantum Collision Theory" at Moscow State University and "Nuclear Reactions at Intermediate Energies" at the University of Dubna. For a number of years, he lectured to students and postgraduates at L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University in Astana (Kazakhstan). Four postgraduate students have defended their dissertations under his supervision.
We sincerely congratulate Yuri Nikolaevich on his birthday and wish him good health, success, and happiness!
