Junior Researcher (former)

Graduated from Physical-technical department of National Technical University "Kharkov Polytechnic Institute" (2005). Since 2004 he works in B.Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (ILTPE NASU) where defended his PhD thesis (2010). He is prize-winner of National Academy of Science of Ukraine scholarship (2007-2009). Scientific activity is devoted to study of solid helium in the region of bcc-hcp phase transition. He is co-author of several international scientific grants (STCU+NANU #5211 - 2010-2012, CREST II - 2009 (CRDF), STCU #3718 -  2007-2010, CRDF #2854 -  2007-2009) and also co-author of about 25 scientific publications and conference proceedings. Now he is postdoc at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA- USA
