Experience
During the work in ITEP practical experience has been obtained in
constructing and handling a trigger system, GEANT based detector simulation
and geometry optimization, developing and calibrating scintillation detectors
and, generally, preparing and performing particle physics experiments.
Highly experienced in a tracker system optimization from the physics point of
view.
Working knowledge of Si microstrip detectors: laboratory and beam tests.
During 1995-1997 I have coordinated the production of Si strip detectors at
ELMA Company (Russia) for some high energy and nuclear physics
experiments.
Deep experience in designing, developing and implementing Data base systems.
17 years of work in experimental and phenomenological particle physics
provide me with the knowledge of hardware and software used in high energy
physics as well as related theoretical aspects.
Other skills: FORTRAN, C++, Java; PYTHIA/JETSET; LabView; UNIX,
Linux, VMS, DOS/Windows; CRISTAL; ORACLE; Perl; Word, Latex;
Netscape, HTML.
Teaching experience: lectures and laboratory works (general physics) in 19891992 at several Moscow Institutes; several graduate and PhD thesis have been
prepared under my supervision in 1990-1998.
