About

I have an international experience and education at internationally renowned universities in power plant water/steam cycle chemistry. My extensive experience includes both academic and industrial settings. Right now, I’m working on reducing deposits that cause steam generators to break down. It costs billions of dollars, so I find ways to keep that from happening. I produce scientific data that enable to control, prevent and predict deposits formation on steam generating surfaces.

I`m an author of a new research project statement for the investigation and development of a novel, innovative fouling reduction technology with a potential for patenting, commercialization, and direct application in industry.

I produced scientific results at the international level with an aim to benefit power industry worldwide by increasing power plant efficiency, economic performance and profitability of fossil plant unit operation, and reducing operational costs.

I was awarded a Fulbright Visiting Scholar fellowship to conduct research at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), USA as well as a Fellowship for Postgraduate Study by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. An impressive knowledge and experience I gained as a member of the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (Power Cycle Chemistry Working Group) (IAPWS PCC). In my field of expertise, I`m author/coauthor of more than 40 publications in top international peer-reviewed journals and presentations at major peer-reviewed international conferences.

My research interests: surface properties of corrosion products and other deposits components in high temperature water, chemistry of amines (additives) in water/steam cycle, zeta potential of corrosion products at high temperatures, mechanisms of deposition in water/steam cycle, partition coefficient of water impurities between water and steam at high temperatures, water and steam quality at high temperatures, water treatment.
