My research: I published many articles and several books, including one at Wiley & Sons, USA. The theory of functions still plays an important role in what I do. My latest project is about Hardy inequality with weights. I also maintain my personal site https://raisingthebar.nl/ where I provide teaching materials for the courses I teach.
About me:
In 1968 Stanislav Nikolayevich Kharin has defended the candidate thesis “Heat phenomena in electrical contacts and associated singular integral equations”, and in 1990 his doctoral thesis “Mathematical models of thermo-physical processes in electrical contacts” in Novosibirsk. In 1994 S.N. Kharin was elected a corresponding member of the National Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences, the Head of the Department of Physics and Mathematics, and a member of the Presidium of the Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences. In 1996 the Government of Kazakhstan appointed S.N. Kharin to be a co-chairman of the Committee for scientific and technological cooperation between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. He was invited as a visiting professor in Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, where he worked until 2001. For the results obtained in the field of mathematical modeling of thermal and electrical phenomena, he was elected a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences of Pakistan. In 2001 S.N. Kharin was invited to the position of a professor at the University of the West of England (Bristol, England), where he worked until 2003. In 2005, he returned to Kazakhstan, to the Kazakh-British Technical University, as a professor of mathematics, where he is currently working.
My research: Professor S.N. Kharin has over 300 publications including 4 monographs and 10 patents. He is recognized and appreciated by researchers as a prominent specialist in the field of mathematical modeling of phenomena in electrical contacts. Using models based on the new original methods for solving free boundary problems he described mathematically the phenomena of arcing, contact welding, contact floating, dynamics of contact blow-open phenomena, electro- chemical mechanism of electron emission, arc-to-glow transition, thermal theory of the bridge erosion. For these achievements he got the International Holm Award, which was presented to him in 2015 in San Diego (USA).
Stanislav Nikolayevich paid much attention to the training of young researchers. Under his
scientific supervision 10 candidate theses and 4 PhD theses were successfully defended.
Now he very successfully continues his research and the evidence of this in the new monograph
“Mathematical models of phenomena in electrical contacts” published last year in Novosibirsk.
