He is full professor and Grand PhD from the World Information Distributed Unversity (2004). Dr. Sergey Petoukhov has been awarded as an academician of European Academy of Informatization (2004). He is a laureate of the state prize of the USSR (1986) for his achievements in biomechanics. Dr. Sergey Petoukhov graduated Moscow Physical-Technical Institute (1970) and post graduated (1973) with a specialty of biophysics. He received a golden medal of the National Exhibition of Scientific Achievements (VDNH) (1973) in Moscow for his physical model of human vestibular apparatus. He received his first scientific degree in the USSR (1973): candidate of biological sciences in specialty biophysics. He received his second scientific degree in the USSR (1988): doctor of physical-mathematical sciences in two specialties, biomechanics and crystallography and crystallo-physics. He was an academic foreign stager of the Technical University of Nova Scotia (Halifax, Canada, 1988). He was elected as an academician of Academy of Quality Problems (Russia, 2000).
