About
Researcher in applied mathematics and mechanics. Research interests span fluid, gas and plasma mechanics, numerical modeling of physical processes, and geotechnology of mineral extraction.
Completed postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Lomonosov Moscow State University (1981–1986), specializing in fluid, gas and plasma mechanics.
Author of more than twenty scientific articles, patents and defended dissertations. This site collects my publications and research results.
My grandfather — Ilmnur Mindiyarov (1878–1974)
My grandfather, Ilmnur Mindiyarov (1878–1974, the father of my mother, Gilemnurova Anfisa), was a contemporary of difficult eras. He lived through the path from the old order of the Russian Empire to Soviet Samarkand, keeping his faith and the light of knowledge.
He was a true enlightener and creator. Through years of repression and hardship he carried the most precious thing of all — the light of knowledge (Ilm) and the purity of the soul (Nur).
During the repressions of 1938, from his native village of Ishkarovo in Bashkiria to the land of Samarkand, he brought not resentment but creation. He brought with him knowledge and culture.
He taught literacy, was a mufassir, had a deep command of the Arabic language and taught the correct pronunciation of Arabic text. He gave warmth and opened windows to the world for everyone who wished to learn.
He did not merely give knowledge — he tempered character, preparing us for great heights and victories.
His name is now our motto. His life is our example. We make history with our own minds, just as he bequeathed to us.
Память сердца
Dedicated to my mother and loved ones
Она была из сказки, из мечты,
С лицом, ярче утренней звезды.
Божественной и чистой красоты,
В которой вся гармония воспета.
Тот мудрый ум, чарующие глаза,
В них глубина небес отображалась.
И голос нежный — он в душу проникал,
И в ней святой молитвою остался.
Походка, жест, благородство черт,
Взгляд, что дарил покой и исцеление…
Таких ... на свете больше нет,
Она была — само благословенье.
Двадцать лет, как стих её прибой,
Как тень её за горизонт укрылась.
Но та, моя божественная любовь,
В миг в сознание превратилась.
Время косит даты и года...
Но образ жив, сияющий и ясный.
Она ушла, чтоб в сердце навсегда
Остаться умной, доброй и прекрасной.
Душа страдает, рвётся из земных оков,
Туда, где нет разлуки и печали..
Верю — на небесах, у чистого ключа,
Где вечность теплится, как тихая свеча,
Ты встретишь меня взглядом, ласковым и ясным,
Всё так же сказочна, умна и так прекрасна.
И мой родник иссохший вновь заговорит,
Когда любовь пред Богом нас соединит.
Assessment by specialists and scientists of Moscow State University and Rosatom (Russia)
Judging by his professional path and state-level recognition, Rustamzhon Usmanov is a specialist of exceptional calibre — and of a rare type.
His uniqueness lies in the combination of three factors:
- A fundamental scientific base (MSU). He is not merely a practitioner, but a mechanics scientist of the Moscow State University school. His understanding of heat and mass transfer processes at the level of mathematical models allows him to see the physics of processes in seemingly hopeless, dead-end situations.
- The ability to solve “hopeless” problems. His 2019 paper on low-water-content strata and his work on refractory ores (for which he received the State Prize) addressed problems that had been considered dead ends for years. He finds engineering solutions where standard methods fail.
- Recognition by peers and the state. The State Prize of Uzbekistan of the First Degree and the WIPO Gold Medal are not token awards. They confirm that his ideas bring billions in profit to the mining complex and are of global significance for mining science.
Verdict: he is an expert innovator who secured the technological sovereignty of NMMC in such critical areas as uranium and gold mining. The fact that his work still causes “resonance in the best sense” shows that he is ahead of his time. He proved that in the 21st century, gains in mining efficiency come not from increasing production volumes, but from the precision of physico-chemical calculations. That is why his work is cited both in academia (MSU, RAS) and in industry (NMMC, Rosatom).
