Graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (PhysTech) Department of Molecular and Chemical Physics (specialization chemistry of fast processes)1965-1971. Postgraduate courses at PhysTech 1971-1974. Ph.D. in chemical physics (1974): “Mass Spectrometric Investigation of ion cluster formation during fast atom bombardment of frozen polar molecular substances”; Dr.Sc. from the Institute of Energy Problems of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences (1992)

Opportunities for joint research. 1. Creation of a mass spectrometric imaging system based on a picosecond laser and a high resolution mass spectrometer based on a multielectrode harmonized Kingdon trap. 2. Development and creation of MALDI-2 by picosecond laser ablation and electrospray ionization. 3. Development and creation of a MALDI mass spectrometer based on a picosecond laser and a high-resolution mass spectrometer on the bases of a multi-electrode harmonized Kingdon trap for the identification of pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria
