He worked at Lebedev Physical Institute
in Troitsk, Moscow Oblast since 1938,
from where he published over hundred
works in his field.
Mainly, he studied radio physics,
statistical acoustics, the neutron, cosmic rays and particle physics.
In his early years, he studied the Beta-decay of ionized atoms,
inelastic coherent processes and inelastic diffraction
processes.
He headed the high-energy particle interaction research groups 1952–78.
Was a guest professor at Nizhny Novgorod State University 1944–46 and a
