Junior Researcher, PhD Student

Graduated from Physical department of V. Karazin Kharkov National University (2007). Since 2005 he works in B. Verkin Institute for Low temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (ILTPE NASU) where is PhD student (since 2007). His research activity is primarily devoted to the experimental study of solid helium, in particular bcc-hcp phase transition in solid mixtures of helium isotopes. He is co-author of about 12 scientific publications and conference proceedings.
