Boris Yakovlevich Zeldovich (Russian: Бори́с Я́ковлевич Зельдо́вич; 23 April 1944 – 16 December 2018) was a Russian-American physicist and a son of the famous Soviet physicist Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich. He was doctor of the Physical and Mathematical sciences (from 1981) and a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[1] Since 1994 Zeldovich worked as a professor at the College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida.[2] During his lifetime he received a number of prestigious awards, including the USSR State Prize in 1983 and the Max Born Award in Physical Optics from the Optical Society (OSA) in 1997.[2][3]

The scientific interests of Boris Zeldovich lay in the fields of non-linear optics, optical waveguide theory and optical holography. He died on 16 December 2018 at the age of 74.[4][5][6][7]
