Enrolled high school in 1946. After graduating from high school enrolled to the Lviv Politechnic
Institute. In 1962 graduated from the Lviv Politechnic Institute with specialty “Geophysical methods of exploration “, received the qualification of mining engineer-geophysicist.
From 1962 to 1965, worked in Poltava Geophysical Expedition of the Trust “Ukrgeofizrozvidka” as technician –operator, then as geophysicist-operator of the seismic party.
From 1965 to 1968, studied at the graduate school of the Institute of Geophysics named after S.I. Sybbotin of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
From 1968 to 1969, worked at the Seismometry Department of the Institute of Geophysics as a junior researcher, then as a chief engineer.
From 1969 to 1993, worked in the Trust “Ukrgeofizrozvidka”. From 1969 to 1973, worked as geophysics and the senior geophysics in experimental-methodical party, and from 1973 to 1977, had the position of the senior geophysicist in party for processing of information on the computer.
In 1973 defended the dissertation “The numerical method of time fields in the interpretation of seismic survey materials” at the Institute of Physics of the Earth (Moscow) and received PhD degree in Geophysics.
From 1977 to 1980, occupied the position of chief geophysicist of the research and methodical party of the Trust “Ukrgeofizrozvidka”.
From 1980 to 1982, became chief geophysicist of experimental and methodical expedition of the “Ukrgeophysics” associations.
From 1982 to 1993, worked as chief geophysicist and chief engineer of the research and methodological party to improve seismic information processing techniques.
In 1990 defended a dissertation “ Difference extension of time and wave fields in applied seismic problems” at Institute of Geophysics named after S.I.Subbotin of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and in 1991 received a doctorate in physics and mathematics.
From 1993 to 1996, worked as a leading scientific employee of the Department of theoretical problems of geophysics.
From 1996 to 2004, worked as chief scientist of the Department of theoretical problems of geophysics.
From 2004 to 2007, worked as chief scientist of Department of the seismic hazard.
From 2007 to 2013, worked as chief scientist of the Department of the physical properties of the Earth’s substance.
From 2013 to the present time is chief scientist of Department of the regional problems of geophysics.
