Mark Veyngerov received the following science degrees: PhD (1930); Docent (1935); Doctor Nauk (1940), Professor (1942).

He designed Infrared Radiation Detector on the basis of Bimetallic Plate Vacuum Diode (1932), designed Selective Optic-Acoustical Detector -- Spectrophone with wide sensitivity spectrum (1937). In collaboration with S.M. Luchin designed non-selective Optic-Acoustical Detector (1941).[6]

He was Awarded USSR State Prize in 1946 for developing of Express Optic-Acoustical Gas Analysis. Also awarded Order of the Badge of Honour and other medals.[7]

gollark: The indentation in that is *interesting*.
gollark: Presumably the end to end encryption thing? Although it would still have a lot of metadata.
gollark: That would somewhat defeat the point of having a decentralized platform thing.
gollark: Well, I might look at joining matrix or whatever then. One of the reasons I don't have any fediverse/whatever stuff set up is that I currently only have access to a free domain which might randomly decide to to unexist, and I don't want that to get stuck in remote config files everywhere.
gollark: I'd imagine it mostly attracts... open-source-stuff people, and also has smallish groups.
