Areas of Specialty

High-energy astrophysics, compact objects, neutron stars, pulsars, pulsar winds, galactic TeV and GeV sources, GRB afterglows.

Research Interests

My current research focuses on studying X-ray, optical, IR and radio properties of neutron stars and related phenomena (particularly pulsar winds), and galactic TeV and GeV sources in relation to compact objects. I am interested both in observations and theoretical modeling. Other interests include gamma-ray bursts, microquasars, isolated BHs, astrophysical jets and outflows, CMB anisotropy, magnetospheres, and MHD.

Biography

I am currently an Associate Scientist in the Astronomy Department at UF. I earned my MS in theoretical astrophysics at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia) working with Yakov Istomin at I.E.Tamm Theory Department of LPI. After receiving my PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics under the supervision of George Pavlov at Penn State in 2004, I spent three years as a postdoc and then as a Research Associate at Penn State working on neutron star observations and participating in the activities of the Chandra ACIS team led by Gordon Garmire.
