Research projects:

  • Development of scientific foundations for the rational use and protection of water, air, land, biological, recreational, mineral and energy resources of the Earth
  • Geoecological analysis of the impact of river flow regulation on aquatic, coastal-aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and justification of ways to preserve and restore aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems
  • Geoecological aspects of water management. Study of the impact of hydraulic engineering on changes in the state of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems
  • Development of technologies for the disposal of production and consumption waste in a circular economy

Research topics:

  • Development of scientific and methodological foundations for the environmental justification of the choice of a site for the construction of reservoirs and reducing their negative impact on aquatic ecosystems
  • Development of scientific foundations and methods of flood protection in adjacent river basins based on modeling the operating modes of a distributed multi-stage system of intercepting hydroelectric systems
  • Geoecological justification for the safe placement, storage and disposal of toxic, radioactive and other wastes
  • Investigation of the processes of converting organic- containing waste into high-quality fuel — hydrogen
  • Development of environmentally friendly technology for processing polymer waste to obtain secondary energy resources
  • Laboratory research and development of technology for obtaining composite fuel from production and consumption waste for the purpose of energy saving
  • Studies of the processes of cogeneration of biogas and biochar from agricultural waste

Field of study:

Environmental Engineering

Research interest:

Assessment of the impact of economic activity on the environment. Resource conservation, remediation and reclamation of lands, disposal of production and consumption waste, including those arising from the extraction, enrichment and processing of minerals, construction, economic activities and operation of housing and communal services.
