Prof. Ryspek Usubamatov, Kyrgyz State Technical University, Kyrgyzstan
Biography: Dr. Ryspek Usubamatov studied Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, graduated as a professional engineer in 1966, and received his Ph.D., in 1972 at the same university. After several years of postdoctoral research, he obtained the degree of Dr. Tech. Sc, at the Kyrgyzstan Academy of Sciences. He worked as the engineer-designer of the machine tools at the Bishkek Engineering plant in Kyrgystan. Then worked for 20 years as a lecturer and professor at the Kyrgyz State Technical University after I. Razzakov. By the reason of the political and economic crisis in Kyrgyzstan, he migrated and worked as Professor for 15 years at the universities in Malaysia. He has published over 400 research manuscripts in reputed journals, 8 books, 30 brochures, and 60 patents of inventions. About half of them are in English publications. His fundamental scientific books are "Productivity Theory for Industrial Engineering", Taylor & Francis, 2018, London, New York, Boca Raton, and "Theory of Gyroscopic Effects for Rotating Objects", 2nd ed. Springer, Cham, Switzerland, 2022. He was awarded bronze and silver medals at the International Exhibitions in Malaysia (ITEX) in 2009 and 2012, and by the Order of Merit, World Inventor Award Festival, WIAF 2012, Korea. He is a member of several international scientific associations and the editorial board member for eight regional and international journals. His research results were presented at more than 50 regional and international conferences and seven times was a keynote speaker at USA, France, Italy, and Malaysia conferences. Every year he receives about 20 invitations to be a plenary/keynote speaker of the international aerospace conferences.
