report that the scientist is the head of Laboratory No.5 called ''The Hypersonic Technologies'' (''Гиперзвуковые технологии''). However, according to the ITAM website, the laboratory is called ''The Aerogasdynamics of High Velocities'' (''Аэрогазодинамика больших скоростей''), and the institute’s website also indicates that the scientist became its head in 2006.

Suspicion of state treason and arrest

On August 5, 2022, TASS reported that the scientist was arrested in a case of state treason, and the news agency also mentioned that the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics was searched. Reuters reported that Russia accused Shiplyuk for passing classified material at a scientific conference in China in 2017 as reason for the arrest. Shiplyuk claims that the classified material was freely accessible on the Internet.

Scientific activity

The main scientific activity of Shiplyuk is the development of the experimental base and methods of aerophysical research, as well as the experimental aerothermodynamics of hypersonic aircraft with ramjet engines. Among the developments of the scientist are the modernization and creation of equipment for ground tests, methods for modeling wave processes in hypersonic shear flows; revealing nonlinear mechanisms of laminar-turbulent transition in hypersonic boundary layers; experimental discovery of a new method for stabilizing hypersonic boundary layers using coatings with a porous microstructure that absorb ultrasound; creation of a new type of thermoanemometric sensor with a sensitive element in the form of a semiconductor single-crystal micro- or nanotube.

Awards

Alexandr Shiplyuk was awarded the Academician Struminsky Prize for works in the field of aerodynamics among young scientists of the SB RAS, he is also the winner of the youth competition of scientific works of the Novosibirsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, dedicated to the 275th anniversary of the RAS.
