Starting Work at ITMO University

 On the recommendation of colleagues from DevelopLabs , I accepted the offer to teach at ITMO University. Link to my page. I will be teaching computer networks, protocols, IoT, and machine vision. ITMO University is a leading Russian university specializing in information technology, photonics, robotics, and other high-tech fields. Founded in 1900 in St. Petersburg, the university is among the top technical universities in Russia and worldwide. In the QS World University Rankings 2024 , ITMO is ranked in the top 400 , and in the Computer Science & Information Systems category, it is among the top 100 . The university is also renowned for its victories in international programming competitions (ICPC), where it has repeatedly become the world champion. According to the updated QS World University Rankings , ITMO University has maintained its position for the second year in a row and ranks second among Russian universities in computer science .

Leaving ViTec Co., Ltd

 Unfortunately, after certain political events, the decision was made to move forward. I am immensely grateful to the company ViTec Co., Ltd for the opportunity and to my colleagues for their support. I am especially thankful to the owner and director, Maxim Soroka, for everything he has done for me. At the company, I worked with machine vision. Since I signed a non-disclosure agreement, I can only share a couple of photos. It was a wonderful experience, and I will never forget it.

Starting Work at Nevsky Institute of Design

At the request of my wife, a teacher of graphic design at Nevsky Institute of Design , I began to teach Computer Technologies to designers at Nevsky Institute of Design.  Limk to lectors page. I began to teach the following software products: Adobe InDesign - for graphic design students; Adobe Premiere Pro and MOHO Animation Pro - for multimedia design students; Trimble SketchUp - for landscape design students. The Nevsky Institute of Design is the most respected private design university in St. Petersburg , the cultural and artistic capital of the Russian Federation. Recently, the Nevsky Institute of Design became a structural unit of University at the IPA EurAsEC . This university plays a significant role in organizing network cooperation among leading universities in the Eurasian region .

Getting Started at ViTec Co., Ltd

After returning from Norway, where my family and I lived for a year and a half, keeping the best memories of the mentality of the Nordic people, I decided to look for a job in the northern cities of the Baltic Sea. I successfully passed an interview and made the decision to move north to St. Petersburg. I started working at Vitek-Automation , one of the leading companies in LabVIEW integration in Russia. This company is particularly known for having trained the first-ever LabVIEW Architect in Russia. ViTec Co., Ltd  primarily specializes in machine vision. I am excited about the opportunity to be among the best and to relocate to a more northern region. Onward to new beginnings!

Computer simulation of drilling core

Drilling is a method of exploration and minerals mining. In an era of economy and struggle for energy resources, drilling becomes important in the world economy development. Drilling requires modern high requirements for technical and economic indicators. Drilling requires the use of an integrated approach in the scientific drilling processes study. The drilling model is a complex system. The model consists of mechanical, chemical, hydraulic, temperature states. Some drilling elements need to be studied at the micro level to achieve results reliability. Thus, the drilling processes study is a difficult task. Solving it with the usual methods is not always possible. Computer modeling is the most promising in this direction. Computer modeling is capable of:  maximize the research model to the real conditions,  reduce tool development time and costs, analysis of drilling processes,  visualize the result. The LabVIEW programming environment has a large se...

Successful passing the exam for an international certificate LabVIEW CLD

January 15, 2018 In Russia, the second certification test of NI LabVIEW CLD (out of three) was successfully passed . From Ukraine there is only one passed -  (but it is proved that he works in the USA). There are 17 certified spesialists in Russia. I analysed that almost of them works in industrial enterprises, and only three - in research institutes. In this context, a person from a typical technical university - is an extraordinary event. Thanks to my family for moral support.

The defense of PhD thesis. Successful!

 I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis in Engineering Sciences in the field of Heat and Gas Supply. My research focused on the application of IT technologies to optimize energy consumption in public buildings.

LabVIEW based mathematical model of building’s heat consumption with non-stationary processes

In this article , the issue of non-stationary processes heat consumption by public buildings for the energy efficiency analysis in heating buildings is being considered. It is justified that the most suitable parameter for adapting the model to the specific building’s conditions is the total heat capacity of everything that is inside the building. As a developed model adaptation’s result there are empirical dependence of total heat capacity has been established for schools. The developed model was used for building’s heating simulation with a cyclically changing load in order to establish the possibility to saving the energy. After passing the preparatory adaptation, the sufficient correspondence of numerical experiments and the practical data on measurement of temperatures are justified. The model was solved using the LabVIEW programming environment. The model is confirmed for schools in Donetsk, for each school, the number of experiments is equal to the number of info...

Starting work at DevelopLabs

During a difficult time for Donetsk , which found itself at the center of civil conflict, I accepted an offer to take on additional projects alongside my primary work at Donetsk Technical University . The DevelopLabs project began in 2013 , emerging from the leading LabVIEW engineering community in Russia and the CIS – https://labviewportal.org/ . We started with simple educational projects , but over the years, we have gained experience in developing large and complex solutions for major clients. During this time, our developers have completed dozens of engineering projects in automation, monitoring, and control . Some of them can be found in the "Projects" section. In addition, we provide consulting services in business, technology, and investment. The project was founded by NI Russia engineers and active LabVIEW architects .

Successful passing the exam for the international certificate LabVIEW CLAD

The CLAD certificate confirms the level of LabVIEW knowledge, as well as experience in the development and maintenance of automated test systems. The exam includes 40 questions in the test form. In English. Exam duration are 60 minutes. For reference: in Russia - 35 specialists for this certification level , in Ukraine - only one .
