Course of education

Since August 2004 PostDoc in the research group of Prof. Dr. Ido Braslavsky at Ohio

University.

03/ 2000 – 06/ 2004 PhD student in Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, with Prof. Dr. K.- H. Rieder. Research methods: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (Room temperature and Low temperature) and Helium Atom Scattering. Room temperature STM was built by me as a part of my PhD project.

from October 1997 member of the group of Prof. Dr. A. Gohkman in the Southukrainian State University Odessa in the department of Physics of condensed matter and solid state physics

from September 1992 study of physics at the State University of Odessa

until July 1997 completion in theoretical physics (particle and high energy physics)

November 1990 change of high school to Gymnasium number 36 in Odessa

until July 1992 specializing in physics

from September 1982 studying in the Gymnasium number 35 in Odessa

until October 1990 with extra courses in English language

Additional practical experience
