Congratulations to Tatiana Alexandrovna Strizh On 28 February 2026., Tatiana Aleksandrovna Strizh, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Deputy Scientific Leader of the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, celebrates her anniversary. T.A. Strizh has been working at JINR since 1973 after completing her postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University. Throughout the time at LCTA, she proved herself to be a highly qualified specialist in the field of information processing in nuclear physics and high-energy physics. She conducted crucial work on the creation of software packages for processing data from film detectors. In 1989, T.A. Strizh successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis “Newtonian schemes and continuation method in the numerical analysis of some nonlinear models of theoretical physics” in the specialty “Application of mathematical methods, mathematical modeling and computing for scientific purposes”. In 1995, she became a senior researcher. From 1997 to 2013, Tatiana Aleksandrovna worked as the Laboratory’s Scientific Secretary, from 2013 to 2023, she was the Laboratory’s Deputy Director for Scientific Work, and since 2023, Tatiana Aleksandrovna has been working as Deputy Scientific Leader of the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies. From 1998 to 2005, T.A. Strizh also held the position of Deputy Director for Scientific Work at the JINR University Center. Scientific interests of Tatiana Aleksandrovna cover the application of computational methods and software for data processing. Her other interests encompass scientific computing, information and grid technologies, high-performance and distributed computing. In 2004–2010, she was a member of the EGEE (Enabling Grid for E-sciencE) European project, being a leader of an essential direction on the application of grid technologies in Russia. In 2005–2006, T.A. Strizh made a considerable contribution to the implementation at JINR of the project of the Federal Agency of Science and Innovations of the Russian Federation “Development of a prototype center for basic grid services of a new generation for intensive operations with distributed data on a federal scale” and subsequently to large-scale projects, namely, “Working out a computer system for the development of the RuTier2/RDIG grid complex to perform distributed data analysis for the LHC experiments by Russian institutes as part of the WLCG/EGEE global grid system”, “GridNNN − National Nanotechnological Network”, “Russian Grid Network” of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, the EGI-InSPARE European project, and the projects of the Federal Target Program of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation entitled “Model of a shared distributed system for acquiring, transferring and processing extremely large data volumes based on grid technologies for the NICA accelerator complex” and “Creation of an automated system of data processing for the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of Tier1 level and of maintenance of grid services for the distributed analysis of this data”. With her active participation, in 2015, a Tier1 center for the CMS experiment at the LHC was created at MLIT and is occupying a leading position among seven world data processing and storage centers; in 2018, the “Govorun” supercomputer was created and is functioning. At present, T.A. Strizh is Deputy Leader of JINR’s large research infrastructure project entitled “Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex (MICC)”, which plays a decisive role in scientific research that entails advanced computing power and storage systems, from theoretical investigations and experimental data processing, storage, and analysis to the solution of applied tasks in the field of life sciences. T.A. Strizh has more than 140 scientific papers in refereed journals, conference proceedings, and scientific publications and actively participates in organizing international and Russian conferences and schools held by MLIT. Tatiana Aleksandrovna was awarded the medal “In Commemoration of the 850th Anniversary of Moscow”, the departmental badge of distinction in labor “Veteran of Nuclear Energy and Industry”, the Certificate of Honor of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and the Certificate of Honor of the Head of the Town of Dubna. She has the title of “Honorary Fellow of JINR” and the Gratitude from the Governor of the Moscow Region. In 2020, she was also awarded the medal “For Contribution to the Implementation of State Policy in the Field of Scientific and Technological Development”, and in 2025, the Medal of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland”, 2nd class. Tatiana Aleksandrovna enjoys well-deserved authority and respect among the staff of the Laboratory and the Institute, as well as among colleagues from other Russian and foreign organizations that collaborate with MLIT. Dear Tatiana Aleksandrovna! We heartily congratulate you on your anniversary and wish you good health, happiness, creative energy, success in your work, and prosperity for your family and friends. May every day bring you joy and positive emotions that will fill your life with vibrant colors! JINR Directorate, MLIT Directorate, colleagues, and friends
