Vladimir Markovich Entov (January 8, 1937 - April 10, 2008) was an applied mathematician and physicist.
Vladimir Entov was born in Moscow on Jan.8 ’1937. His mother, Eva Simanovskaya, was a teacher of Russian language and literature. His father, Mark Entov, was a professor of Political Economy at Zhukovsky Military Academy.
During his high school years, Vladimir won multiple awards at the all-Union Physics Olympiads.
In 1954 he graduated from a high school with a Gold Medal (valedictorian ). He applied to the Physics Department of the Moscow State University, but was rejected on the ideological grounds. The same year he began his study at the Mechanical Department of the Moscow Institute for Oil and Gas.
In his second year, he approached Professor I.A.Charny and asked him for a research assignment. This was a beginning of their close personal and scientific friendship that lasted till the death of Prof. Charny.
Upon his graduation from the Institute in 1959 he immediately started a long-distance course of study at the mathematical department of the Moscow State University, while working in the Institute For Drilling Technology.
In 1961 he began his graduate study with Professor I.A.Charny and in 1965 successfully defended his dissertation thesis “ Non-stationary problems of the non-linear filtration” , earning the title of “Candidate of Science" (PhD).
Since 1971, Vladimir worked at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Soviet Academy of Science. In 1972 Vladimir was awarded the title of Doctor of Sciences for his dissertation thesis "Hydrodynamic theory of filtration of anomalous fluids" completed at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics. In his years at the Institute Vladimir has supervised thesises of 24 Ph.D. candidates and until recently worked as scientific supervisor of the Laboratory of Applied Continuum Mechanics.
In addition, since 1983 he served as a Professor of the Applied Mathematics and Computer Modeling of the Moscow Institute of Oil and Gas (currently Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas).
Since 1993, Vladimir was actively involved in research and teaching activity in France (Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris), UK ( Cambridge, Oxford) and USA (WPI, Stanford, MIT, UMN).
Prof. V.Entov was a Corresponding Member of The Russian Academy of the Natural Sciences; a Member of the Russian National Committee for the Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, a Member of the International Society for the Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics, and a member of the editorial board of the European Journal of Applied Mathematics (Cambridge University Press).
