Biography
editIn 1978, Dmitriy G. Stankevich graduated from Kharkiv State University. He worked at the Institute for Radiophysics and Electronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR on the development of software and hardware for digital processing of astronomical and space images. For these works, he received the State Prize of the Ukrainian SSR in Science and Technology in the field of science and technology in 1986.[3]
In 1988 Stankevich moved to work at Kharkiv University. He continued his research on processing of astronomical and space images, and worked on the issues of light scattering by surfaces of celestial bodies. In 1989[3] he defended his PhD thesis "Investigation of the surface of Venus by digital image processing methods".[4]
Since 2001, Stankevich has been working as an associate professor at the Department of Astronomy at the School of Physics of Kharkiv University. He teaches General Astronomy, Theoretical Astrophysics, and Computer Technologies in Astronomy. He also directs bachelor's and master's theses of students, supervises research works of schoolchildren at the Minor Academy of Sciences, gives popular science talks.[3]
