Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Seismic Stability of Structures named after M.T. Urazbayev of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan (from 2021 to present day).

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor.

Sultanov Karim Sultanovich graduated from the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute (1971) and the Tashkent State University (1986). Qualified as a mechanical engineer and mathematician. Since 1971 he has been working at the Institute of Mechanics and Seismic Stability of Structures of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan. He defended his candidate's dissertation (1977) and his doctoral dissertation (1992) in specialty 01.02.04 - "Mechanics of deformable rigid body" at the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov.

The results of his scientific research were published in 2 monographs and more than 300 scientific articles, of which 130 are journal articles, including 40 in prestigious foreign journals, more than 90 articles in proceedings and materials of symposia, international and republican conferences. 5 doctoral and 11 master's dissertations were defended under his supervision. His scientific directions are related to research in the fields of seismic resistance of buildings and structures: dynamic strain and destruction of soils and rocks, structure-soil interaction, wave processes in soil media with embedded underground structures, strength of textile threads and yarns.
