My background

Education:
•University degree from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1982);
•Ph.D. degree from Kapitza Institute (1987).

Expertise:
the electronic transitions (van Hove singularities) of the Fermi surfaces of pure metals and alloys, the magnetic and transport properties of the HTSC, intrinsic Josephson effect. See a summary of my research (will be updated soon).

Experience:
the low temperature, vacuum and high-pressure techniques, photolithography and thin film technology, programming and data acquisition, SQUID- based magnetometry and ultra-low voltage measurements, design  of low-temperature cryostats and equipment.

Research interests:
transport and magnetic properties of HTSC, physics of vortices,
physics and application of the intrinsic Josephson effect,
semimetals: graphite and garphene, bismuth.

No. of publications in refereed journals:  60+

Teaching:  FMI015; FMI020; FKA190; FKA196
