Dmitri Dmitrievich Ivanenko (July 29, 1904, Poltava, present-day Ukraine – December 30, 1994, Moscow) was a Soviet-Ukrainian theoretical physicist who made a great contributions to the physical science of the twentieth century, especially to nuclear physics, field theory, and gravitation theory. He worked in the Poltava Gravimetric Observatory of the Institute of Geophysics of NAS of Ukraine, was the head of the Theoretical Department Ukrainian Physico-Technical Institute in Kharkiv, Head of the Department of Theoretical Physics of the Kharkiv Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Professor of University of Kharkiv, Professor of Moscow State University (since 1943).
Dmitri Ivanenko was born on July 29, 1904 in Poltava, where he finished school, in 1920-1923 he studied at the Poltava Pedagogical Institute and began his creative path as a teacher of physics in middle school. Then D. D. Ivanenko studied at Kharkiv University, from which in 1923 he was transferred to Petrograd University. In 1926, while still a student, he wrote his first scientific works: with G. A. Gamov on the Kaluza–Klein five-dimensional theory and with L. D. Landau on the problems of relativistic quantum mechanics.
After graduating the university, from 1927 to 1930 D. Ivanenko was a scholarship student and then a research scientist at the Physical Mathematical Institute of Academy of Sciences of USSR. During these years he collaborated with L. Landau, V. Fok and V. Ambartsumian, later to become famous. This was when modern physics, the new quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics were established.
