- 6/98 to present. Center
of Microgravity and Materials Research,
University of Alabama in Huntsville,
Huntsville, Alabama. Research Associate.
- 1/98-6/98 University
of Central Florida, Physics Department,
Orlando, Florida. Adjunct.
* Conduct research of the protein folding
process under high pressure - low
temperature conditions using Raman
scattering, absorption and flash
fotolysis techniques. Responsibilities
include maintaining, alignment and
modification of the setup with
Ti:Sapphire, Ar, YAG lasers, cooled
CCD-array, photomultiplier acquisition
system, high pressure and vacuum systems.
Preparation of publications with results
of experimental studies. Also teaching
the laboratory work course.
- 12/97-12/98 Scientific
Research Center "Sonar",
Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences,
Kiev, Ukraine. Senior engineer.
* Defended Ph.D. thesis. Took active part
in the BIODOS project (EUC). Worked on
the development and application of
vitamin D biodosimeter for control end
measurements of solar UV radiation and
ozone layer depletion.
- 3/95-8/96 University
of Central Florida, Physics Department,
Orlando, Florida. Research Associate.
* Designed and elaborated experimental
setup for flash-photolisys study of
protein molecules. Successfully solved
problems of the high speed data
acquisition setup (designed and optimized
amplifiers for PMT-tube, configured and
synchronized hardware). Wrote an original
program for the control of the
experimental setup that saved money on
software purchase. Mastered Raman and
absorption spectroscopy techniques in the
high pressure - low temperature
experiments. Acquired experimental data
that resulted in several publications and
new project proposals.
- 1/91-2/95 Scientific
Research Center "Sonar",
Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences,
Kiev, Ukraine. Engineer-programmer.
* Investigated novel lasers with the
possibility of electronic synthesis of
their spectrum shape. The emphasis was
given to the studying of acoustooptical
control elements inside the dispersive
laser resonator. Designed and created
fully computerized experimental setup
that included tunable dye laser,
acoustooptic deflector with control
system, computer controlled CCD array.
Wrote several publications, successful
project proposals and reports.
