I am a Senior Fellow in the NASA Postdoctoral Program at Astrophysics Science Division, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA. I am also a staff scientist at Moscow State University's Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Russia.

Before coming to Goddard I was a research scientist at Astronomy Department and Theoretical Astrophysics Center at University of California Berkeley, USA.

I am theoretical astrophysicist. Most of my research is on physics of compact objects and high energy astrophysical phenomena, I use both numerical and analytical methods in my research. I enjoy developing new numerical techniques for solving complex astrophysical problems.

Astrophysical phenomena of interest include:

• Radiopulsars
• Magnetars
• Galactic microquasar SS433
• Galaxy clusters
• Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei
• Cosmic Infrared Background Radiation
• Gamma-Ray Bursts

Physical processes of interest include:

• Electron-positron cascades
• Plasma physics
• Force-Free magnetic fields
• Radiation processes in astrophysical plasma
• Radiation hydrodynamics
