2018 Advanced training course in Radioecology, Radiometry and Radiation Safety, F. Skorina Gomel State University.
2019–2022 Postgraduate course in Radiobiology (specialty 03.01.01), IRB.
2023 Junior researcher of Department of Environmental and Food Quality, IRB.
2024 Advanced training course in Radioecology, Radiometry and Radiation Safety, F. Skorina Gomel State University.
2025 Chair of the Council of Young Scientists, IRB.
Took part in research projects in the frames of State R&D Programmes, BRFFR projects and the Programme on Joint Actions of the Union State of Russia and Belarus on Human Protection and Recovery of Territories Affected Following the Chernobyl NPP Accident.
A principal investigator of the following research projects:
• 2021–2022 “Study the processes of 137Cs redistribution in forest vegetation in the far zone of Chernobyl fallout under changing climatic conditions”, State R&D Programme “Environment and Natural Resources”, work package 3 “Radiation and Biological Systems”, task 3.04;
• 2020–2022 “A study of the role of lichens as an accumulation and fire-induced 137Cs translocation factor”, Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research.
Expertise in:
• radiochemical analysis of environmental samples (soil, water, biological samples) to determine the activities of transuranic elements 238,239,240Pu, 241Am;
• agrochemical analysis of soils;
• identification of physicochemical occurrence forms of long-lived radionuclides in soils by the degree of their biological availability.
