Belayev Anatoly Ivanovich (1906–1967) founded the school of metallurgy of light non-ferrous metals and semi-conducting materials. He was Professor of Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys

Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys

National University of Science and Technology "MISIS" is Russia's primary technological university in the field of steelmaking and metallurgy. It was established in 1918 as a part of the Moscow Mining Academy. In 1930, it became independent...

MISIS. He was head of the department of metallurgy of light metals in the Moscow Institute of Non-ferrous Metals and Gold from 1943 to 1963.
From 1962 to 1967 he was organizer and head of the chair for producing pure metals and semi-conducting materials in MISIS MISIS Outstanding Professors.
