ABOUT ME
I was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) on April 19, 1971.
I entered the Physical Faculty, St. Petersburg State University in 1988.
I prepared my term papers under control of Professor
Mikhail Ivanovich Pudovkin at the Magnetospheric Physics Laboratory, Earth
Physics Department. I received bachelor's degree in physics on May 21, 1993
and master's degree on January 24, 1995. I became a PhD
student at the same department in 1995. My first
international presentation was on the 8th scientific assembly of
IAGA at Uppsala in 1997. I defended my Ph.D thesis
entitled «Modelling of plasma flow specialities in the dayside
magnetosheath» on April 22,1999 at St. Petersburg State
University under supervision from Prof. M. I. Pudovkin.
I work as a scientist at St. Petersburg State University from
1999. From October 2000 to July 2001, I got a
post-doctoral grant from DAAD and worked at Astrophysical Institute Potsdam
(Germany). From 2002 to 2007, I was a lecturer (then a
senior lecturer) at the Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg
State University. From September 2007 up to now, I'm a
senior scientist at the same department. I give a course of
lectures for postgraduate students "Numerical methods of MHD simulations".
From September 2010 to December 2011, I worked at Space
Research Institute (Graz, Austria).
On December 25, 2013, I defended a Russian Doctor of Sciences thesis at St. Petersburg State University.
I have collaborated with colleagues from
Paris-Meudon Observatory
(Daniel Hubert, Catherine Lacombe, Milan Maksimovic)
Charles University in Prague
(Zdenek Nemecek, Jana Safrankova, Lubomir Prech)
Goddard Space Flight Center (David Sibeck)
Institute of Physics of Interplanetary Space in Rome (Maria Bice Cattaneo, Giuseppe Pallocchia).
I got the INTAS grant for young scientists in 2004-2005 and Russian grants for young scientists. I get a RFFI grant for 2014-2016.
I have published 41 papers (28 in
refereed journals). The information about my publications in
Research ID is available
here. My h-index = 11.
I like to read good books, listen music, go to theaters and cinemas. I enjoy seeing new places and
walking in nature.
