LANGUAGE SKILLS

Native Russian, fluent English, some French.


EDUCATION

  • D.Sc. (Doktor Nauk, Dr. Habil.) in Physics and Mathematics, 2008
    Institute for Analytical Instrumentation, St.-Petersburg, Russia
  • Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics, 1989
    Vavilov's State Optical Research Institute, Leningrad, Russia
  • Master's Degree in Physics, 1984
    Leningrad State University, Department of Physics, Leningrad, Russia


PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

RUSSIAN INSTITUTE OF RADIONAVIGATION AIM TIME 2011 - present, part-time
  • Supervising the experimental part of the new Cold Atoms Optical Clock project
A.F.IOFFE PHYSICO-TECHNICAL INSTITUTE RAS 1999 - present
  • Invented two principally new quantum magnetometer schemes - an Absolute Vector Optically pumped Magnetometer and a Scalar Mx-Mr Magnetometer; now working on their practical implemrntation.
  • Invented and developed two new quantum magnetometer schemes - Cs-K Tandem based on 4-quantum resonance and Cs Vector Variometer
  • Developed algorythm and software for Potassium Narrow-Line Magnetometer and Balanced HFS Magnetometer
  • Proposed new method for absolute measurement of three components of Earth magnetic field.
INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY, UNIVERSITY OF AARHUS 2000 - 2002
  • Worked on Cesium Atomic Fountain Clock project. Designed and assembled the laser cooling and trapping setup for the Atomic Fountain. Designed, made and succesfully tested in the Atomic Fountain setup two original external cavity diode laser designs. Prepared the experiment on squeezing of the atomic spin distribution, as applied to atomic fountain clock.
VAVILOV'S STATE OPTICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE 1984 - 1999
  • Developed methods of optical-microwave pumping and registration in hyperfine and Zeeman atomic structure, including the population trapping method, as applied to the tasks of frequency stabilization and quantum magnetometry.
  • Designed quantum magnetometer with laser optical pumping; the problem implied the creating of the compact and reliable pumping sources based on narrow-line semiconductor lasers stabilized by the methods of non-linear spectroscopy.
  • Investigated rotation-vibrational molecular spectra by non-linear Doppler-free laser spectroscopy methods.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COMPANY "MAGTEC, Ltd." 1993 - 1997
  • Participated in developing at least 4 new kinds of optically pumped supersensitive Potassium vapor magnetometers and gradiometers for geophysical survey and observation applications.
