1991 -1998 Research Fellow / Research Scientist, Kurnakov Institute of Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia.
Developed the new quasi -optics microwave experimental techniques to determine dielectric permittivity of highly conductive specimens in the VHF and SHF frequency ranges (50-200 GHz).
Developed algorithms for analysis of the dielectric spectra.
Experimental studies of the dielectric response for the group of aqueous non- and electrolyte solutions.
1999 - 2000 Research Associate, Department of Chemistry, Trent University, Peterborough, Canada.
Molecular dynamic simulations of water and aqueous solutions of NaCl over a range of thermodynamic states to study the structure (three dimensional local density fluctuations), rotational and translational diffusion and dielectric response.
2000 - Present Research Associate , Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo Waterloo, Canada
Development of new general-purpose methods, algorithms and codes to characterise the composition, phase, size distribution and number density of a variety of atmospheric aerosols from infra-red spectroscopic measurements. Application of these algorithms to the analysis of satellite and other remote sensing measurements in order to determine the characteristics of condensed phases in the atmosphere. Characterization and thermodynamic modelling of high altitude cirrus clouds and polar stratospheric clouds. Molecular dynamic simulations of the atmospheric particulate matter components: supercooled water ditto aqueous solutions of sulphuric and nitric acid. Determination of complex refractive indices of metastable liquids (supercooled water and aqueous solutions of HNO3) in the mid infrared regions.
