I am an aquatic ecologist. The range of my scientific interests includes:
(i) Macroecology and freshwater ecology: effects of anthropogenic and natural factors at large spatial scale, structure of meta-communities, altitudinal and geographical distributions, diversity gradients;
(ii) Ecotoxicology and environmental risk assessment of toxicants: effect and recovery at population, community, and ecosystem levels, multiple stressors, life-cycle traits;
(iii) Freshwater bioassessment: development and validation of trait-based (e.g. SPEAR) and taxonomy-based indices, effects of confounding and multiple factors.
Professional experience
Since 2005
Researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Department System Ecotoxicology, Leipzig, Germany.
2002 - 2005
Hydrobiologist at the Western-Siberian Center for Environmental Monitoring, Novosibirsk, Russia.
2004 - 2005
Entomologist at the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Science, Novosibirsk, Russia.
2000 - 2003
PhD student at the Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Novosibirsk, Russia. PhD in Ecology; the thesis was focused on the use of mayflies and dragonflies in bioassessment and environmental toxicology.
