At Moscow State University he became in 1983 a professor of theoretical mechanics and in 2002 the head of the Department of Mathematical Statistics and Random Processes. At the
Steklov Institute of Mathematics Steklov Institute of Mathematics or Steklov Mathematical Institute (russian: Математический институт имени В.А.Стеклова) is a premier research institute based in Moscow, specialized in mathematics, and a part ...
he became in 2003 head of the mechanics department and in 2004 the Institute's deputy director. From 1980 to 1987 he was Moscow State University's deputy dean for science and research of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics. From 1997 to 2001 he was Deputy Minister of Education of the Russian Federation. Kozlov's research deals with theoretical and statistical mechanics and related mathematical areas such as the qualitative theory of differential equations and topological considerations in the integrability of dynamic systems. In 1979 he proved that for 2-dimensional manifolds M with genus greater than 1 (i.e. excluding topological spheres and tori) the geodetic flow (and general solutions of Hamilton's equations on the associated tangential bundle of M) has no real-analytic first integrals other than energy. He was elected in 1997 a corresponding member and in 2000 a full member of the
