Biographical Information

Born in 1939, Leonid M. Ozernoy taught in the School of Computational Sciences and Informatics at GMU from 1993 to 2002. Born in Moscow, Ozernoy was one of the former Soviet Union's refusniks and came to the United States in 1986. He worked at Boston University and Harvard University before coming to the Washington, D.C., area in the early 1990s to join NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland as a consultant. At George Mason, he taught courses in computational sciences and physics, such as Colloquium on Computational Sciences and Informatics, Astrophysics, and Modern Astronomy.
