Ivan Nikolaevich Voznesensky graduated as a civil engineer in 1921 from the Leningrad Institute of Technology. He became in 1923 a collaborator at Krasny Putilovets in Leningrad as an engineer and from there moved to the Institute of water turbines at the Leningrad machine factory as a chief engineer of hydro turbines. From 1928 to 1929, Voznesensky made a study trip to the USA and upon returning was appointed professor of hydro-machinery at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and the Leningrad War Academy. One year later, he there chaired the All Union Kotlo Turbine Institute and founded the Leningrad school of hydro-machinery. He was from 1937 to 1940 dean of the mechanical engineering faculty and then was involved in the weapons' industry of the Soviet Union. He received the State Prize of the USSR in 1947, was awarded the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Badge of Labor. He was from 1939 a Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Voznesensky's name is related to turbo machinery in particular, and to mechanical engineering in general. He introduced in the 1930s a method for computing the blade system of those machineries and added to their automatic regulation using a large set of governing parameters. He designed also a 1,000 HP two-phase engine in Kharkov in 1914. Under Voznesensky's direction powerful turbines were built for the hydroelectric power stations of the Moscow Canal inaugurated in 1935. His name was assigned to the Hydro-machinery Laboratory of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute where a memorial site was installed in 1987. Also, a Voznesensky Scholarship for students existed.
