Oleg Tozoni

Oleg V. Tozoni was a scientist, inventor, and a specialist in the field of electro-dynamic and electrical engineering. Since 1964 through 1988 Tozoni was the Head of the Department of Electrodynamics at the Cybernetics Institute of the Academy of Science, USSR. After immigration to the U.S. in 1989, Tozoni worked as a Visiting Research Professor at the University of Maryland, Department of Electrical Engineering. He resided in Maryland and continued to work developing his MDS maglev system until his death. His work continues to be developed by TozoniMAGLEV, L.L.C.

Tozoni died on June 1, 2012, age 85, from cancer.

Tozoni received a M.S. and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from Novocherkassk Polytechnical Institute in 1951, and 1958 respectively, and Doctor of Science (a Post Doctoral degree) in Electrical Engineering from Kiev Polytechnical Institute in 1965. He was a member of Editorial Board of COMPEL – International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Consultant to the Science Application Institute of Electronics, Warsaw, Poland from 1985 to 1988. Prior to emigration from the USSR, in 1989, Tozoni was also a member of Editorial Boards of publications of the USSR Academy of Science: Teoreticheskaya electrotekhnika and Electromekhanika.
