A Brief Biography of Jacob Bogatin
Jacob Bogatin, born Yakov Gershevich Bogatin on August 13, 1947. He attended Saratov primary and secondary schools. He then continued his education at the Saratov Mathematical School. As a ninth grader, Jacob began a pilot and sky jump program at the Gagarin Aviation School. In 1965, after graduating from high school, the young man applied to the Moscow School of Cinematography, but was unsuccessful. He was later accepted to the Saratov State University and graduated in physics in 1970.
Immediately afterward, Jacob took a junior research position at Saratov State University and earned a Ph.D. in Physics. Since then, he established the largest magnetic laboratory in the Volga region and equipped it with modern scientific machinery, such as: Jeol and Comeca microanalyzer, magnetic spectrum analyzer and electron microscopes with 500 thousand magnifications. In 1971 he got married. From 1973 to 1985, the professor published more than 100 articles on permanent magnets. In 1978, a young man invented the powerful ND-Fe-B permanent magnets that are used today in electronics, cars, and airplanes. In 1977, Jacob received a full professorship in physics. Under his leadership, many college students earned their doctorates and became scientists. His relationship with the Russian government began to deteriorate just after his mother and his sister immigrated to Israel. In 1985, the young professor applied for an immigration visa but was denied twice. In 1987, the man was finally granted permission to leave Russia and immigrate to the United States. His family was given 10 days to leave Russia.
In 1987, Bogatin immigrated to the US and joined the Airspace Company in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. From 1987 to 1988 he was manager of the magnetic department and built a research center with a magnetic laboratory. In 1989 he invented the first uranium rare earth metal magnet along with the aquanide magnet.
During 1988-1993, the scientist taught at UPEN for an undergraduate program.
Their children graduated in 1992 and 1998 from UPEN and Haneman University, and later married. Her daughter has two sons, her son has one son.
In 1993 the academic organized a Magnetic Company to manufacture magnets.
In 1998, Jacob started a green field operation for his daughter and son-in-law. In addition, in 2000 he built a 3,500-foot medical center with a doctor’s office, radiology and physical therapy departments.
In 2002, he made the decision to publish the first brilliant monthly publication for the Russian community in the US and Canada called The Health Magazine. Five years later, the magazine became the only successful newspaper with a circulation of more than 50,000 copies per month.
In 2002, the scientist was hired by a group of private investors to build a 22,000-square-foot diagnostic center. In 2003, the 25-employee radiology department opened its doors to provide the community with access to the newest technology: Siemens 1.5 tesla short-board MRI, 64-slice CT, dual-head nuclear medicine, and many more.
In 2003, the professor opened a Sleep Disorders Center for patients with sleep disorders.
In 2004, Jacob completed a radiation oncology department with a revolutionary IMRT treatment.
In 2005, it opened a cardiovascular department that offers the revolutionary heart-scanning CTA.
In August 2007 the professor celebrated his 60th birthday. His friends prepared many fascinating gifts for him, but the real star named “Jacob Bogatin” touched his heart most of all.
In October 2007, Jacob Bogatin decided to become a private pilot. He currently attends the Hartman Aviation School and has 120 flight hours. With incredible energy, the scientist wants to prepare for a space mission.
Where does this man get his energy from? He has always been surrounded by energetic young people who always accompany him in his endeavors. In addition, he has a “lucky Jewish umbrella” with him from his rabbi grandfather who was annihilated during Stalin’s regime in September 1937. The professor enjoys life and wants to spend every moment improving himself. He never stops fighting bad habits of his. His favorite expression is: “The goal can be achieved with or without luck!”
