Mikhail Anatolyevich Shustov (Michael A.Shustov) – Doctor of Technical Sciences, Candidate of Chemical Sciences, is known for publications in the field of electronics, chemistry, physics, geology, medicine, history, methodology for solving inventive tasks, computer methods of information processing.

Was born on March 12, 1952 in the village of Pudino, Parabelsky district, Tomsk region, where his mother worked under a three-year contract as the head physician of the district Sanitary and epidemiological station. In 1954, the family moved to mother's parents in Molotovsk (now Nolinsk), Kirov region – an inaccessible place of exile for the French of the 1812 campaign and the "iron" knight of the revolution Felix Dzerzhinsky. From Nolinsk to Kirov, the distance of 136 km was covered by the bus at that time, if you're lucky, in 6 hours.

In September 1964, father bought the "Radio" magazine for me, which has since been read to the shine of the pages. In the local library there found a picture book in the form of a dialogue between two friends telling about their successful path to radio electronics. But in practice, it was smooth only on book paper: in local the store on the dusty counter for years there were several little in demand octal series radiolamps, a pair of BC-2 and BC-1 resistors, and a tubular capacitor. Of the tools available, was a grandfather's hand drill, a screwdriver from a tractor, an awl, and a crooked soldering iron. In subsequent years, remote trade stores and old radios disassembled into parts helped a little with radio components.

The first design was, of course, a detector radio receiver on a radio tube 2P1P. This receiver, alas, did not work: the diagram from the hitherto popular book did not indicate that the power should be supplied to the filament, and the bulb of the lamp, after unsuccessful attempts to fix it on plywood, for some reason turned white.

By the summer of 1965, a more successful design was assembled – a regenerative receiver, and then a reflex transistor radio receiver according to the 1-V-2 scheme. This was followed by a gas accumulator battery, several transistor amplifiers, a telephone line with a neighbor. Since 1966 – the radio circle of the House of Pioneers, a radio-controlled model of a nuclear-powered vessel, a low frequency generator. In the summer of 1967, a transmitting prefix to the radio on a 6P3S lamp was born, and then a medium-wave transistor transmitter received 250 m away on a household radio receiver.

At the end of 1967, with the help of Evgeny Ivanovich Styazhkin, 1947-1989, (UW4NA), the only amateur radio athlete of Nolinsk, assembled a converter on six lamps at 28 MHz and received the SWL call sign UA4-131-56. One of the memorable SWL QSL is from Georgy Alekseevich Rumyantsev, 1937-1990, (UA1DZ, 7 MHz, AM). In 1968, manufactured a radio transmitter with six lamps (28 MHz, AM /FM). Received the call sign UA4NEU, then RA4NAU; at the output GU-29; GP antenna; the furthest radio communication with Vladivostok.

In 1969, with a certificate of commendation in chemistry, he graduated from secondary school No. 2 in the city of Nolinsk, and in the fall he entered the Faculty of Physics and Technology of the Tomsk Polytechnic Institute (TPI), Faculty of Physics-Power Plants. From 1970 to 1975 was deputy head of the collective radio station TPI UK9HAB (CW, AM, then SSB; GU-50, 1(2) GK-71, GU-80; antennas LW, GP, dipole, rotary 3 squares). During the summer holidays, fishing on the "uninhabited" island on Vyatka with deputy chief radio stations of the Central Radio Club of the USSR UK3A (RK3A) by polar radio operator Herman Mikhailovich Shchelchkov, 1931-2010, (UA3GM, U0GM, 4K1A, 4K1J, 4K1GM, UPOL-23), originally from the city of Nolinsk.

In the summer of 1971, assembled a transistor SSB exciter on a 6.7 MHz two-quartz filter of his own design. The quality of the SSB signal, however, was sharply and fairly criticized by the coryphaeus of the radio ether Alexander Fedorovich Kamalyanin, 1907-1975, (UA4IF). In August 1973, participated in a two–week UK9HAB/m radio expedition on the Ob on board the agitation ship "Sever" (Tomsk – Alexandrovskoye – Strezhevoy), CW, SSB, antenna - Inverted V and "rotary" (together with the ship) 3 squares. Since 1973 – Member of the Council of the regional radio club DOSAAF.

In February 1975, defended his diploma in determining the content of silver and hafnium isotopes in samples by cyclic neutron activation analysis. The assembled installation had two dozen cases of "POSOL" DTL chips of the 217th series with thyristor switching of blowers. After graduation, was assigned to the Department of Radiation Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology of TPI. Worked in the photochemistry group from 1975 to 1986, at the same time lectured on catalysis and catalyst technology, technology of inorganic substances.

Mastered the technique of obtaining and measuring vacuum, sources of ultraviolet and laser radiation, the technique of optical spectrophotometry, omegatron mass spectrometry, assembled a piezo quartz installation for measuring the degree of photochemical decomposition, installation for measuring the electrical conductivity of semiconductors on alternating current. Photo-, thermo- and mechanical recording media were studied and developed, including those suitable for creating holograms with a resolution of over 1000 lines/mm, based on bismuth, lead and thallium halides, thallium azide. Along the way, photosensitive media with dry (optical or thermal) manifestation, electroluminescent sources of optical radiation, photo- and electrochromic materials were studied. Theoretically justified the limiting nature of the sensitivity of photorecording media and established the relationship of the processes occurring in them during irradiation, clarified the wording of the laws of photochemistry.

He studied at the graduate school of TPI in 1977-1980 and from 1999 to 2002 at the doctoral program of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU). In 1981 he graduated from the Tomsk Public Institute of Patenting All-Union Society of Inventors and Innovators (Faculty of Patenting) and in 1989 from the Faculty of Methodology of Technical Creativity.

In 1985, he defended his PhD thesis at Kemerovo State University on the topic "Study of the basic properties of photo- and thermal recording media based on heavy metal halides". Academic degree – Candidate of Chemical Sciences. Academic title – Senior researcher (since 1988).

From 1986 to 1990 he worked at the Scientific research laboratory of Natural-Technogenic Electromagnetic Systems (NIL NTES), the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography of the Geological Exploration Faculty of TPI, headed the instrument development department. Participated in expeditionary research on the territory of the USSR.

Since 1990, after the organization on the basis of the NIL NTES SRCSAF at the TPI (TPU) and until 1995 he worked there as Deputy Director General for Scientific Work. From 1996 to 2002 – Senior Researcher, Associate Professor at the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography of the Faculty of Geological Exploration and Oil and Gas Production (Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Business) of TPU.

From 2003 to 2012 he worked as the editor-in-chief of the monthly interdisciplinary scientific and technical journal "Bulletin of the Tomsk Polytechnic University" from the TPU Publishing House. During this period, the journal published over 4200 articles (Russian- and English-language versions, 112 issues).

In 2007, at Altai State University, he defended his doctoral dissertation on "Devices, methods and media for recording and processing information based on bistable and intermediate states". Academic degree – Doctor of Technical Sciences.

From 2008 to 2013, part-time Professor of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Institute of High Technology Physics of TPU. Lectured on theoretical and applied mechanics, applied mechanics, machine parts and design basics, corrosion protection of oil and gas fields equipment.

Since 2013, retired.
