Here you can link to into my personal profile on the School of Informatics website  where I placed my resume, list of projects and publications.

 

I do research in:

•  Plasma Physics in application to solar, geomagnetic and laboratory plasmas (acceleration, precipitation, dynamics, emission, non-LTE radiation, directivity, polarization...)

•  Pattern recognition in solar images with region-based methods

•  Solar activity pattern classification with Bayesian and Artificial Intelligence methods

•  Web mining

You can view here some pictures of a beautiful Fountain Abbey in Yorkshire.

  My hobbies include tennis and downhill skiing most recent pictures of which you can view here.

 Some old pictures on the reunion in 2005 of the graduates  of 1975 from the Physics department, National Kyiv University see here.
