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

IOFFE PHYSICAL-TECHNICAL INSTITUTE RAS [1999 - present]
  • Working on the new balanced optically pumped diamond magnetometer scheme

  • Invented two principally new quantum magnetometer schemes - an Absolute Vector Optically pumped Magnetometer and a Scalar Mx-Mr Magnetometer

  • Invented and developed two new quantum magnetometer schemes - Cs-K Tandem based on 4-quantum resonance and Cs Vector Variometer

  • Developed an algorythm and software for Potassium Narrow-Line Magnetometer and Balanced HFS Magnetometer

  • Proposed a new method for absolute measurement of three components of Earth magnetic field.

RUSSIAN INSTITUTE OF RADIONAVIGATION AND TIME [2011 - present, part-time]
  • Participating in the new Cold Atoms Microwave Clock project

  • Consulted the Cold Atoms Optical Clock project

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 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]
  • Participated in developing at least 4 new kinds of optically pumped supersensitive Potassium vapor magnetometers and gradiometers for geophysical survey and observation applications.

  • 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 using non-linear Doppler-free laser spectroscopy methods.
