March 23, 2026. Igor Sheremet, Academician of RAS, D.Sc., Professor, Principal Research Scientist at the Geophysical Center RAS, is celebrating his 70th birthday.

Igor Sheremet is a renowned scientist in the fields of information technology, systems analysis, artificial intelligence, digital economics, cybersecurity, computational and telecommunication systems. In 2016, he was elected a Corresponding Member of RAS for the Department for Nanotechnology and Information Technology, and in 2022, he became an Academician of RAS. He is the author of more than 300 scientific works, including 25 monographs, some of which were published abroad. He has been awarded the Order For Military Merit and the Medal of the Order For Merit to the Fatherland, 2nd Class. He is a laureate of the Russian Federation Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov State Prize (2013) and the Prize of the Government of the Russian Federation in Science and Technology (2018).

He developed methods for the associative organization of large databases and knowledge bases, as well as a set of methods and architectural solutions for parallelizing logical inference through its macropipelining, which ensured distributed intelligent processing of intensive heterogeneous information flows. The approach was first successfully implemented in the second half of the 1980s on the EC series mainframes. At the same time, a prototype web client for personal computers was created.

Since the 2000s, Igor Anatolyevich has been developing the theory of recursive multisets and methods of its application for solving problems of system analysis, operations research, and digital economy. As part of this direction, he proposed a mathematical toolkit that combines the advantages of classical mathematical programming and modern knowledge engineering – a family of filtering multiset grammars and metagrammars.

He is Co-Chair of the Working Group " Promising Mathematical Tools for Applied Data-Based Systems Analysis" of the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) of the International Council for Science (ISC), Deputy Chairman of the RAS Committee on Systems Analysis, Deputy Chairman of the Scientific Council on Robotics and Mechatronics RAS, member of the Scientific Council of the RAS “Quantum Technologies”, and member of the Scientific Council “Scientific Foundations for the Construction of Computing, Telecommunication and Location Systems” RAS. From 2014 to 2020, he was a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). From 2020 to 2022, he was Chairman of the CODATA and IIASA Joint Working Group on Big Data and Systems Analysis.

Since 2019, he has been a member of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. He is also Chairman of the Editorial Board of the journal “Voprosy kiberbezopasnosti” (“Cybersecurity Issues”).

The staff of the Geophysical Center RAS congratulates the jubilarian and wishes him good health and continued success in his scientific work!
