Scientific achievements

Timashev developed a flicker-noise spectroscopy method for extracting information from the chaotic signals produced by complex systems, which can be used for analyzing and predicting the behavior of these systems He discovered the phenomenon of switching conductivity for surface-modified ion exchange polymeric membranes and electropervaporation effect. He also described the role of chemical and solar factors in the biosphere evolution. The total number of papers and books published by him is more than 300. He currently serves on the Editorial Advisory Boards of Russ. J. Phys. Chem., Russ. J. Electrochem., Colloid J., and J. Water Chem. Technol.

Honors and awards

Timashev received Russian Federation Government's Prize in Science and Technology, Ernest Oppenheimer Memorial Trust, and Russian Federation's Distinguished Scientist.
