     Dear Sir!
     Several reasons caused me to write this letter. First of  all,  I
visited Denmark and Sweden in May, 1992, where I was invited for short
term lecture tour. I've found all these countries to have nice  condi-
tions for foreign scientists as well as very high quality of educatio-
nal system. Moreover, my friends training educational  courses  abroad
(USA, Canada, etc) normally tell me the same things. It's a pity,  but
right now it is quite impossible to proceed with any scientific inves-
tigations in Russia because of lack of means for Russian  science  due
to modern economic situation.
     That is why I've decided to ask you whether there are  exist  any
possibilities of long-term fellowships for postdoctor or  postgraduate
position at your Institute.
     I'm 24 now and have graduated from Moscow  institute  of  Physics
and Technology a year before. I've successfully  passed  exams  on  my
Ph.D. degree already. Now I'm preparing my dissertation article in the
Department of Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter  of  National
Institute for Mathematical Modelling, Moscow (Russian Academy of  Sci-
ences) under the guideness of prof. N.?Kalitkin. To my mind I can  fi-
nish all necessary activities concerning my Ph.D. this year.
     I'm theoretical and computational physisist and my area of  inte-
rests is wide-range Equations of State (EOS) constructing and  especi-
ally EOS of complex non-ideal gas-plasma medias. I've managed to  con-
struct quite new nonideality correction term based on microfields  and
proposed new approach permiting to derive such terms from any model of
ionization potential's shift. The microfield model of plasma  nonidea-
lity provide with better agreement with experiments and fine  qualita-
tive behaviour among earlier-known models. Also I've  created  several
programming systems for EOS computation of complex nonideal gas-plasma
mixtures considering even molecules.
     During my last staying in Sweden I've made a report  "Microfields
and Plasmas Thermodynamics" at seminar in Chalmers Institute of  Elec-
tromagnetic Field Theory (Getheborg). This seminar  was  organized  by
prof. Jan Weiland.
     Furthemore, my professional activities are not limited with  only
this subject. My educational history let me successfully  try  another
theoretical and computational branches of physics.  However,  I  feel,
that my mathematical educational background allow me to work successi-
vely in different areas of mathematics as well as programming. Especi-
ally I'm interesting in Artificial Neural Networks.
     Also I have some special interests and  comprehensive  experience
of designing simple models and codes for process of physical education
for junior students as well as pupils of  gymnasium.  Dr. Lars  Gislen
from Institute of Theoretical Physics of Lund University  (Lund,  Swe-
den) knows my works on this subject very well.
     So, if you will find my scientific skill being close to your  di-
rection of activities and I can be usefull for your Institute, you can
consider me as the applicant for corresponding positions available  at
your Inst.
     Well, thank you in advance. I enclose  here  my  CURRICULUM
VITAE. If it's necessary, I can send any other details  (including  my
complete Ph.D. thesises) into the next message.

     My average graduational mark after 6-year (backalour and magister
degrees ) was 4.72 (when the five - "excellent" is  the  highest  mark
and the two - "bad" is the lowest one for each course. If it is impor-
tant, I can include the details about courses I 've trained separately
in the next message.). My graduational article  had  title  "Statistic
sums for atoms, ions and molecules" and was awarded  with  "excellent"
mark. I've already passed my Ph.D. exams (mathematics&physics,  phylo-
sofy, english - all with "excellent" marks).  Right  now  I've  almost
prepared my Ph.D. thesises - "Simulation of Nonideal Gas-Plasma  Medi-
as", concerning advanced topics for theoretical as well as computatio-
nal aspects of plasma Equation of State construction. But we also have
special routine- so-called "defense", when I should make report  about
my investigations for special council at our Inst. I'm  going  to  ar-
range this event for autumn, 1992. But remarkable  bureacracy  of  our
official academic organizations will let me to get  my  Ph.D.  diploma
only in a half of a year - i.e. spring, 1993. So you can  consider  me
now as "Ph.D./ 2"- hi.
     If you need in some official materials about me, such  as  certi-
fied hardcopy of my diploma or something else, you should tell me your
post address or FAX number. Anyway, I can send the brief summary of my
Ph.D. thesises or anything you want else. Also I can prepare the brief
review of my researh successes or confedent  recommendations  from  my
supervisor.

     Sincerely yours,                        Vlad S. Volokitin.
