Research experience

2007- present Ph.D. student under the of Prof. Potemkin I.I. , Dept. of Physics, Moscow State University

2007 – present – coworker in SFB 569 project “Hierarchic Structure and

Formation and Function of Organic-Inorganic Nano Systems”, University of

Ulm, Ulm, Germany

Research subject: Study of thermodynamical stability of complex micelles

• Developed a theory of stability of mixed micelles in solutions of mixtures of Ab and BC diblock copolymers
• Generalized blob picture from solution of one to the solution two types of polymer segments
• Developed Debye-Hueckel type theory for solutions of linear polyelectrolytes with discrete charge distribution

2004-2007 Undergraduate Thesis Research, Moscow State University, Dept. of Physics. Advisor. Prof. Potemkin I.I.

Research subject:  Microphase separation in melts of ABC double comb copolymers

• Calculated spinodals of microphase separation of double comb copolymer melts (DCC)
• Predicted two-scale instability for melts of double comb copolymers
• Found significant enlargement of ordered structures area with increase of irregularity of branch point distribution in DCC
