EXPERIENCE AND AREAS OF INTEREST
Crystal Chemist and Physical Chemist by training. Conducted
research for more than 25 years in crystal chemistry and X-ray structure
analysis of organic, organoelemental and coordination compounds. Also have been
engaged in the theoretical organic crystal chemistry, molecular packing modes,
intermolecular interaction energy calculations, statistical treatment of
organic structures distribution by the types of the crystal organization (space
groups, structural classes).
