In 1963 he graduated from the faculty's graduate school (Department of Theory of Functions and Functional Analysis) and defended his thesis "Compliance boundaries for some classes of mappings in space", which was noted as outstanding. In 1969 he defended his doctoral thesis "Global reversibility of quasi-conformal mappings of space".
