I was born in Kurakhove in Donetsk region, then (when I was 8) my family moved to small village in Zaporizhzhya region. In 2000-2010 I studied in National University of Kiev-Mohyla academy, where I get BS, MS and PhD in Chemistry. Two years after PhD I was teaching Chemistry for freshman at Vinnytsia national technical university . Since 2012 I'm working at Michigan State University as Postdoc research associate at College of Environmental engineering. My research is devoted to oil-water separation by membranes and hydrocyclones (produced water treatment)
