Victor Mikhailovitch Lyatkher (1933) was born in Kerch.[citation needed] He holds a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the University of Leningrad and a doctorate in science from Moscow State University. Lyatkher is a professor,[1] engineer,[2] and inventor.[3] Lyatkher has developed and patented numerous processes and machines. These deal mainly with renewable energy sources such as tidal power, water turbines, and vertical axis wind turbines. He developed a new method to forecast long-term variations in the Caspian Sea level,[4] and designed a new kind of low head turbine. Mr. Lyatkher has worked for over thirty years in the wind and hydro-power industry. He has received several prizes and awards for his accomplishments, including the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Award of the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology, and five medals of the All Union USSR Exhibition,[5] gold, silver and bronze.

In February 2016 Professor Lyatkher joined British American Turbines Ltd. as Chief Engineer. Prior to that he was the president of New Energetics, located in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a member of various societies, including the Academy of Water Research, Russia, and the International Association for Hydraulic Research, Netherlands. He has published numerous books (in English and in Russian) on the subject of renewable energy, and was the original inventor of helical turbine, patented in the USSR in 1983.
