Aleksandr Yurievich
Brailov is a Professor in the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Drawing at
the Odessa Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture since 2008.
He began his
engineering career in 1974 when he became a first-year student of the Odessa
National Polytechnic University. After graduating, in 1979, with a Master of
Engineering, with Distinction, he was employed as a research engineer at the
Odessa National Polytechnic University.
Dr. Brailov
subsequently read for a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree at the Odessa
National Polytechnic University in the field of manufacturing engineering,
focusing primarily on the geometry of cutting tools under the supervision of
Professor Yuri Sukhorukov. Later on, to enhance his mathematical acumen, he
completed the Bachelor and Master programs at the Institute of Mathematics,
Economy and Mechanics of the Odessa I.I. Mechnikov National University in 1996.
After completion of
hisPh.D., Dr. Brailov was employed by the Odessa National Polytechnic
University as a Senior Research Fellow, Associate Professor, and Professor within the Departments of Metal Cutting and Cutting

Professor Brailov is a
member of the Ukrainian Association on Applied Geometry, since 2000, and a member of the
International Society of Geometry and Graphics, since 1998.
His research interests
include areas of geometrical modeling of
engineering objects and systems, engineering geometry, mechanical design, computer aided design, engineering
computer graphics and computer design of tools.
The author of 155 scientific and methodical works—including 128 scientific and technical articles, three copyright
certificates on inventions, two patents, three textbooks, seven manuals, and 12
teaching-methodical works—Dr. Brailov has also presented the results
