About

I was born in Russia. Received my M.Sc. in Chemistry from Mendeleev's University of Chemical Technology in 1987, M.Sc. in Physics from Moscow State University in 1991, and a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from University of Delhi in 2002. I worked in Cambridge, UK; Tehran, Iran, and in Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bangalore. I am a visiting faculty at M.P. Birla Institute of Fundamental Research, Bangalore. My research interests are application of gravitational lensing in astrophysics and cosmology; UV astronomy from space and near space; exoplanets and habitability. I am a Life Member of the Astronomical Society of India (ASI); Indian Physics Association (IPA); Indian Society for Astrobiology, Education and Research (SABER); International Astronomical Union (IAU); Global Hand-On Universe (G-HOU); an educational program that enables students to investigate the Universe while applying tools and concepts from science, math, and technology. I am associate member of Committee for Space Research (COSPAR), Scientific Commissions C; E and H; and Member of Board of Directors of ILOA (International Lunar Observatory Association).
