My professional interests are in physics and materials science.

I had graduated with Master's degree from Physics Faculty of St.-Petersburg State University (Russia) in condensed matter physics in 2008, followed by Doctor of Philosophy degree from University of Tartu (Estonia) in materials science in 2012. Then I have been conducting materials research in academic institutions of Germany, Italy, Russia.Ā Since 2022 I have joined the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Twente as a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher.

My doctoral thesis in materials scienceĀ "Structural and tribological properties of zero- and one-dimensional nanocrystals" publicly defended in University of Tartu (Estonia) in 2012 had set an initial vector for my further research.

In 2016-2017Ā IĀ had been a guest scientist at Forschungszentrum Juelich (Germany), whereĀ IĀ had been collaborating with Dr. Bo Persson and Prof. Gert Heinrich (Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden, Germany) in the field of soft matter tribology.

In 2018-2019Ā IĀ had been a guest scientist at University of Padova (Italy) in the lab of Prof. Lucia Nicola, whereĀ IĀ had been collaborating in the field of computational contact mechanics.

In 2019-2022 I had been a Research Fellow in ITMO University (Russia) and in 2021-2022 became an Associate Professor in the same university.

Since 2022 I have joined the Sustainable Polymer Chemistry group at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Twente as a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher, where I have started collaboration with Prof. Sissi de Beer.

My academic fields of interest in materials science and physics:

  • Soft matter tribology, adhesion, viscoelastic and polymer materials, rough surface science.
  • Nanomechanics, in particular, tribology, manipulation, mechanical testing of nanoscale objects; numerical simulations of nanomechanical systems.
  • Theory of defects in solids in the framework of continuum mechanics and defects dynamics in nanostructured materials.
  • Kinetic quantum transport theory in solid state matter: conductors and semiconductors.
