In 1992 got a job of engineer-radiologist at RIR (from 2019 – IRB) and was assigned to Laboratory of Radiochemistry and Spectrometry. In six years, rose from a junior researcher to a position of Researcher. Worked for Laboratory of Biochemistry of Technogenic Radionuclides, Laboratory of Peat Soil Radioecology. Was temporary in charge of Mass Analyses Laboratory. Since lab reorganization in 2020, a researcher of Laboratory of Agroecology and Mass Analyses.
Co-drafter of multiple research proposals and work packages. Often entrusted with the elaboration of individual sections of research projects and reports.
Author and co-author of over 20 scientific publications and a patented invention.
