Professional Experience:

  • Optimum configuration of biological life support systems

  • Application of neural network algorithms to science studies

  • Ecological education

Principal research interests

  • Global ecological crises and biosphere stability;

  • Design of biological life support systems for space applications;

  • Application of artificial neural networks for studying complex biological systems;

  • Initial stages of chemical evolution of life, possible predecessor of living beings;

  • Complexity reduction of ecological system description.

Basic Scientific Results:

  • Has proposed an approach to building minimal mathematical model of biosphere based on the principle of the worst scenario.

  • The possibility of irreversible catastrophic changes in the biosphere-climate system due to anthropogenic CO2 emission was shown.

  • Formal coefficient of closure applicable to ecosystems of different complexity was proposed and combinatory properties of it were investigated.

  • Was in charge of design and implementation of computer program for calculating optimal Life Support System (LSS) configuration for long-term space missions. It was shown there are optimal with respect to mass configurations of LSS for different scenarios of space missions.

  • Has introduced integral reliability criterion, which allows optimizing and comparing space LSS. Calculations of optimum scenarios for two main type of missions (orbit station and lunar base) were conducted.

  • Has developed the approach of functional-invariant to reduction of models complexity.

  • Possible scenario and corresponding mathematical model of initial stages of life origin on the Earth, which permit experimental verification were suggested.
