Bachelor and Master in Information Systems (Astronomy)
Candidate of Sciences, Institute of Natural Sciences, UrFU
I obtained my Bachelor degree in Information Systems (Astronomy) in 2010 at Ural State University (now UrFU) and Master degree in 2012 at Ural Federal University. I also did my candidate of sciences program at UrFU from 2012 to 2015.
Now I live in the French-speaking part of Belgium. I’m a PhD student in Space sciences, Technologies and Astrophysics Research (STAR) Institute at the University of Liege (Belgium). I work on a project dedicated to the search of terrestrial size planets, which orbit the smallest and the coolest stars of the solar neighbourhood. Atmospheres of these planets can be searched for traces of life in the near future.
Studying at UrFU helped me to gain a broad experience of astronomical observations that helps me to do my current research. It was fun though often difficult to study, especially during my first years at the university. And of course I have warm memories about Kourovka astronomical observatory of UrFU, I spent a lot of time there doing astronomical observations.
