About

Summary

Experienced ecologist with a strong interest in discovery of new technologies and developing as researcher in international team. I specialize in scientific research on environmental radioactivity, with special emphasis on forest fires and modeling of pollutants transfer in natural ecosystems. Methodologically I combine empirical-analytical approaches for determining and reducing migration of pollutants to minimize consequences of anthropogenic impact on the environment.
I am Ph. D. in the field of environmental sciences (since 2014). Head of the laboratory of Modeling and Anthropogenic Risks Minimization (Institute of radiobiology of NAS of Belarus) since 2016. Number of publications – over 70 (h-index 4 - Scopus, 6 - Google Scholar).
