Field of scientific interests
- Zoology, ecology, and faunistics: research on species composition, spatial distribution, and faunal biodiversity in the Ukrainian Carpathians (specifically the Chyvchyn Mountains and Bukovynian Carpathians regions).
- Ornithology: study of avifauna, seasonal migrations, nesting, and bird ecology in both human-altered landscapes and protected areas of the Bukovynian Carpathians; acoustic monitoring; and research on the impact of domestic cats and solar power plants on birds.
- Nature conservation and protected areas: inventory, condition assessment, and ecosystem monitoring of national nature parks; use of Earth remote sensing data (Sentinel and Landsat satellite raster data) to monitor protected areas and develop functional zoning plans (specifically for Cheremoskyi National Nature Park).
- Biodiversity conservation and sozology: study of rare and endangered animal species, preparation of materials for the Red Book of Ukraine, and development of measures to conserve their habitats.
- Forest ecology and biogeocenology: monitoring of old-growth forests and primeval forests in the Carpathian region, particularly in the Bukovynian Carpathians and Chyvchyn Mountains.
- Physicochemical research on abiotic components: study of soil cover characteristics and the physicochemical parameters of soils, surface waters, and groundwater in mountain ecosystems.
- Electronics and programming: development of microcontroller-based control and monitoring systems for solar power plants and energy storage systems. design of measurement and power electronics circuits, control of power converters, and automation of power systems; programming of AVR microcontrollers in C++ at an embedded developer level; working with hardware interfaces and data communication protocols (I²C, UART, SPI, Modbus RTU/RS-485), and utilizing PWM, ADC, and external interrupts in microcontroller systems.
