Valery Shmukler

From 1990, Shmukler combined active scientific work with teaching activities at Kharkiv National Academy of Urban Economy, consecutively occupying the positions of professor of the Building Designs Department and, from 2012, Head of Department. Shmukler gave lectures on the modern theory of building designs, including the latest advances in the field of construction and applied mechanics, computer science, materials, and structural systems. The audience of his lectures consisted of students, graduate students, doctoral students, university professors, and specialists in the construction field. Shmukler also worked with graduate students and doctoral candidates of the Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University and Kharkiv State Technical University of Construction and Architecture. He paid much attention to the integration of science and education. Over the years, Shmukler made a significant contribution to the development of the scientific theory of rationalization of building designs. He was the author of many important initiatives, including the establishment of the school "Structures and materials for residential and civil buildings" (1992). Within the framework of the school he headed, multidisciplinary theoretical and experimental research of constructions is conducted, both for Ukraine and other countries. Works of the school are the basis for the functioning of the master's, postgraduate and doctoral studies at the university's Building Designs Department. Paying great attention to the training of highly qualified personnel, Shmukler prepared 12 candidates and one doctor of technical sciences. His students work in universities and factories both in Ukraine and abroad. Shmukler was a member of the Specialized Academic Council (D 64.056.4) at the Kharkiv State Technical University of Construction and Architecture for doctoral and master's theses on the construction specialization 05.23.01 "Building constructions, buildings and structures." Shmukler was awarded numerous certificates of honor by the USSR State Construction Committee, Kharkiv City Council, administrations of design institutes, and Rector of Kharkiv National Academy of Urban Economy, and was awarded the diploma "Excellence in Higher Education of Ukraine" (2002). In 2014, Shmukler, for his scientific and pedagogical contribution, his professional and human qualities, and for providing high-performance work so entrusted to him, was awarded the title of "Honoured Professor of Kharkiv National Academy of Urban Economy".

Shmukler was an author and co-author of over 180 scientific papers and 60 inventions. His works have been published in leading scientific journals in Ukraine, Russia, Great Britain, Italy, China, Japan, the U.S., and Iraq. Shmukler was a member of the editorial boards of scientific journals, namely the Concrete and Reinforced Concrete in Ukraine (Poltava), the Scientific Construction Bulletin (Kharkiv), and the Urban Economy of Cities (Kharkiv). He was a co-author of seven books and teaching aids:
