Summary of scientific activities:

1995 Graduated the Department of Physics and Technology of Novosibirsk State Technical University on speciality в??Solid state physics and semiconductorsв??.
1995 в?" 1997 I started to work at the Laboratory of Laser Frequency Synthesis and Measurement of the Institute of Laser Physics (ILP SB RAS) as a research officer. I worked on development and investigation of the frequency-stabilized femtosecond Ti:S laser, extended cavity diode lasers, tunable cw Nd:YAG laser and stabilized CO2 lasers for metrological applications. Also, I worked on nonlinear optics as second harmonic generation, difference frequency generation, sum frequency generation on different nonlinear crystals for metrology application.
1997-2000 Postdoc student in ILP SB RAS. I was a participant of international program в??Spectroscopy of Muoniumв?T in 1995-1998 in collaboration with Appleton Laboratory (Oxford UK). As a research team member I took part in building one of the first compact transportable femtosecond optical clocks. I experimentally investigated nonlinear interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with special optical fibers (highly nonlinear, tapered photonic)
2000-2002 I was as a scientific leader of project for young scientists в??Femtosecond optical clock based on He-Ne/CH4 standardв?T and I awarded of Lavrentв?Tyev medal SB RAS.
2001 I received the Ph.D. Degree in physics at the Institute of Laser Physics.
2002-2004 Postdoctoral stage in Observatoire de Paris, BNM-SYRTE. During this period I took part in project for Sr+ spectroscopy in femtosecond group, for development and investigation divide by 3 selfв?"phase locked OPO based on PPLN crystal (group of Dr. J.J.Zondy).
2004 Stage in MIT Cambridge (RLE) in frame of Franceв?"MIT contract for development of 3:1 OPO (group of F.N.C.Wong and J.Shapiro).
2005 April-July. I was invited in INM-CNAM (Paris) as visiting scientist for development self-reference femtosecond laser in frame of project в??Ag+ spectroscopyв?T.
2005-2006 Senior physicist at the ILP SB RAS since 1995, Researcher in в??Angstromв?T LTD company (Russia).
2006 June-December. Visiting scientist at Researsh Laboratory of Electronics MIT (USA), F.N.C.Wong group in frame of progect self-phase-locked parametric oscillator with frequency divide by 3 pumped at 532 nm.
2007 February, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Physical department, associate professor, preparing of habilitation thesis. Institute of laser Physics, senior scientist.
2007, MarchВ Stippendium ofВ Max-Born Institute (Germany)

My other current interests are related to experimental and fundamental aspects of optical parametric oscillators subjects to resonantly enhance cascaded nonlinear processes (self-phase locking, ultra-short pulse generation for extreme nonlinear optics, optical transverse pattern formation, quantum signature of competing nonlinearitiesв?│). I am also currently involved in a team project of construction of an optical clock based on laser-cooled atomic strontium, and the development of a femtosecond laser clock based on a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:Sa laser or a Cr:ZnSe laser.
