My professional life is a non-typical combination of an industrial career with sound academic achievements. The main area of my expertise is chemometrics, i.e. multivariate analysis of complex data generated by modern analytical instruments, such as optical spectrometers and sensors. Chemometrics application fields of my primary interest include industrial process monitoring, food quality analysis, medical diagnostics, and ecology. My present affiliations are chemometrician at Blue Ocean Nova AG and independent consultant at Global Modelling in Aalen, Germany. Besides, I retain a close scientific cooperation with Samara State Technical University in my native city of Samara, Russia. I am equally fluent in English, German, and Russian (native language). I am married and have three children – all boys.
