Transmission of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, first as a Junior Scientist, and later as a
Main Scientist. During this period he visited several universisties in the United States, Sweden, Italy,
and Switzerland as a guest researcher. He organized several symposia on information theory in the
USSR. In 1994 he received the Chair of Telecommunication Theory at Lund University, Lund,
Sweden. He is a member of IEEE since 1995, and in 2001 he became an IEEE fellow.

His scientific intrests include information theory, coding theory, detection theory, and mathematical
statistics. In addition to papers in these areas he has published a book on sequential decoding of
convolutional codes. With R. Johannesson he coauthored the textbook "Fundamentals of
Convolutional Coding" (Piscataway, NJ: IEEE Press, 1999).
