He also coedited a book for preparation of future olympiad participants.[4] He contributed to the first Soviet database INES which was used ubiquitously in the USSR and for which he received the USSR Council of Ministers Prize.[5] In 1990 he emigrated into the US where he continued to work as a software developer.
