Alexander Georgievich Reks graduated from the Faculty of Physics at Belarusian State University in 1974. From 1975 to 1981, he worked at the A.V. Lyukov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Since 1981, he has been employed at Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU). Currently, he serves as a professor at the UNESCO Chair in "Energy and Industrial Engineering" at BNTU and is the head of the Research Laboratory of Thermomechanics of Magnetic Liquids.
He earned his Candidate of Sciences degree in 1986 with his dissertation titled "Equilibrium Forms and Stability of Limited Volumes of Magnetic Fluid with a Free Surface," and in 2007, he defended his Doctor of Sciences dissertation on "Mechanics of Magnetorheological Magnetic Fluid Systems with a Free Surface."
His research interests include hydrodynamics, heat transfer, and energy conversion processes in magnetic fluids with free surfaces. He teaches courses in "Energy Conversion Machines," "Pump and Expander Machines," "Fundamentals of Energy Conservation," and "Fluid and Gas Mechanics." He also supervises diploma projects, master's theses, and student research activities.
Currently, he is the scientific supervisor for a state research program project titled "Energy Systems, Processes, and Technologies," specifically focusing on the subprogram "Effective Thermophysical Processes and Technologies" (2019-2020), with the task "Energy Systems, Processes, and Technologies 2.69: Development of Methods for Magnetically Controlled Heat and Mass Transfer in Magnetic Fluid Media."
He is a member of the Dissertation Council D 01.13.01 at the ITMO National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and a member of the scientific assembly for evaluating dissertations in the fields of 01.02.05 – "Mechanics of Fluids, Gases, and Plasmas" and 01.04.14 – "Thermophysics and Theoretical Thermal Engineering."
In 2018, for his outstanding achievements in scientific and innovative activities and close cooperation with the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Reks A.G. was awarded a certificate of honor.
He is the author of over 250 scientific and educational-methodical works published in domestic and international journals, including one monograph, 20 author certificates from the USSR, and patents for inventions.
