He is an academician of the Academy of Construction of Ukraine (1999), doctor of technical sciences (1997), professor (2001), winner of the State Prize of Ukraine in Architecture (1995), Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology (2020), Honored Scientist of Ukraine (2015), emeritus professor of (2014), chief of the department of building construction of O. M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv, a member of the IASS (1980), a member of the American Concrete Institute (1997).

Biography[]

Shmukler was born on June 26, 1946, in the city of Krasnoyarsk, USSR. His family moved to the city of Kharkiv in 1949. His father, Samuel I. Shmukler was a mechanical engineer and worked all his life in the construction and mounting trust No. 86 as a chief mechanic. His mother, Shklovskaya Asya Abramovna was a chemist and the head of the laboratory at the pharmaceutical institute. In 1964 he entered the Kharkiv Institute of Civil Engineering (now – ) on faculty "Industrial and Civil Engineering," from which he graduated in 1969. After graduating in civil engineering from 1969 to 1986, he worked in the Kharkovproekt consistently occupying positions from the engineer to the chief of the department, and from 1986 to 1990 – in the Ukrgorstroyproekt, where he occupied positions from the head of technical department to the deputy chief engineer of the institute. In 1977, he defended the PhD thesis, and in 1997 – thesis for the degree of the doctor of technical sciences. Since 1990, Shmukler has been working in O. M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy (ex – Kharkiv National Academy of Municipal Economy), consistently occupying positions: the professor of building structures and the chief of building structures department (since 2012).

Work in state design institutes[]

After graduating from the , Shmukler from 1969 to 1990 worked in the research and design institutes, Kharkovproekt (1969–1986), Ukrgorstroyproekt (1986–1990), where he occupied the positions from the head of the technical department to the deputy chief engineer of the institute. During the time he spent in Kharkovproekt, he created one of the first computation center and computer-aided design of industrial and civil structures in Ukraine. Under his leadership and with direct participation a number of CAD software systems were created. The results of these developments were the basis of his dissertation for the degree of candidate of technical sciences "flat concrete casing sresearch work." The work suggested and developed new methods of accounting for physical and geometrical nonlinearities in solving the problems of static stability of membranes covering. Also, in these years, Shmukler co-authored a series of CJC (Complex Kharkiv Series) for the construction of large sixteen residential buildings and was one of the organizers of a network of data centers roses State Construction Committee of Ukraine. Over the years of work in the GUI (Ukrgorstroyproekt), Shmukler was one of the pioneers in the creation and development of youth and housing construction in Ukraine. After the earthquake in Armenia he took an active part in the reconstruction of housing, that had welfare and cultural purposes. He was one of the first to engage in the implementation of the industrial facilities of reinforced concrete and metal spatial structures in buildings and structures of the country.

Scientific activity[]

Shmukler's scientific interests are associated with the theory of structural systems, information technology for calculation and design of structures, and methods of their optimization and rationalization. His main works in this area include: integrated gradient method for finding the global extremum of functionals on many variables; method for solving multiobjective optimization problems; overdetermined contour collocation method for solving boundary problems in the theory of plates and shells; compilation methods for solving nonlinear problems of the theory of constructions. A cycle of his work devoted to the creation of direct design methods, well-founded principles of new energy, is the basis of the formation of constructions with a simple external and complex internal geometry. Based on them, the following were created and implemented: architectural construction systems RAMPA, IKAR, DOBOL, intended for housing and civil engineering; a family of gantry and bridge cranes up to 800 tons, etc.

In 1999, he was elected as the member of the . Shmukler's scientific achievements were marked with state awards: for the organization, implementation and development of the youth construction in Ukraine – 40 Years of Youth Residential Complex Movement Medal (2011); for his outstanding contribution to the development of science, technology and engineering in Ukraine – Silver Medal of the Academy of Construction of Ukraine (2013) and Gold Medal of A. N. Podgorny of the Engineering Academy of Ukraine (2014). In 2015 he was awarded with the honorary title «Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine». References to Shmukler's works can be found in a number of books, articles, dissertations, research reports of other authors. The constructions developed by him are used and applied in a number of projected and constructed facilities.

Educational activity[]

Since 1990, Shmukler has been combining active scientific work with teaching activities at O. M. Beketov Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy, consecutively occupying the positions of: professor of the Building Designs Department, and since 2012 – the Head of Department. Shmukler gives 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 consists of students, graduate students, doctoral students and university professors, as well as specialists in the construction field. Shmukler also works with graduate students and doctoral candidates of the Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University and Kharkiv State Technical University of Construction and Architecture. He pays 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 is 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 is heading, 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 Building Designs Department of the University. Paying great attention to the training of highly qualified personnel, Shmukler prepared 12 candidates and 1 doctor of technical sciences. His students successfully work in universities, factories of Ukraine and many other countries. Shmukler is 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." For valorous work, Shmukler was awarded with numerous certificates of honor of the USSR State Construction Committee, Kharkiv City Council, administrations of design institutes, Rector of O. M. Beketov Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy, etc., and also was awarded the diploma "Excellence in Higher Education of Ukraine" (2002). In 2014, Shmukler, for his scientific and pedagogical contribution, professional and human qualities, providing high performance work so entrusted to him, was awarded the title of "Honoured Professor of O. M. Beketov Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy."
