  EDUCATION

  • M.Sc., Aerodynamics and Thermodynamics, 1983, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
  • Ph.D., Physical Oceanology, 1989, Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow

RESEARCH INTERESTS
 
      
My research interests include the study of large-scale ocean circulation and coastal dynamics.  In my research I am using an approach which combines advanced data processing algorithms and numerical methods of investigations.  The research focuses on :

  • analysis and interpretation of oceanographic data using statistical and inverse methods of data processing
  • development of regional and general circulation numerical models for process oriented studies
  • application of the methods of variational data assimilation into numerical models.
