Biography

Iossif Vladimirovich Ostrovskii was born 6 April 1934 in Dnepropetrovsk. He obtained a degree at National University of Kharkiv in 1956, and entered post-graduate studies, where his supervisor was Boris Yakovlevich Levin. In 1959 he defended his PhD thesis The connection between the growth of a meromorphic function and the distribution of its values by arguments. In 1965 he defended his doctoral thesis Asymptotic properties of entire and meromorphic functions and some of their applications. From 1958 to 1985 he worked at National University of Kharkiv, since 1969 as the head of the Department of Function Theory. From 1986 to 2001 he headed the Department of Function Theory at Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering. [1]

Since 2001, he is Professor of the University of Bilkent (Ankara, Turkey).

In 1978 he became the Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of USR (now of the NAS of Ukraine). [2]
