sPHENIX experiment at the RHIC facility at BNL

Development of the multi-layer GEMs for the sPHENIX TPC with the reduced Ion Back Flow; Simulation studies of the spacecharge in the TPC

ATLAS experiment at the LHC CERN

Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) performance studies: software development, detector performance optimization; Preparation for the TRT test beams at the SPS (2012, 2016, 2017, 2018); Research for the Heavy Ion working group: data validation, physics data analysis

I have vast experience working in the research teams of only a few people and of dozens of scientists, engineers, and technicians. I greatly value good relations at work and do my best to prevent conflicting situations.

Working at the university and in the large international collaboration, like ATLAS, requires good communication skills that I fully possess. In the past years, I actively participated in hundreds of planned and ad-hoc meetings of all different levels: from very technical day-by-day discussion to the meeting with the NRNU MEPhI and ATLAS management.
