Innovations in Materials Science & Green Energy
About Me
PhD (Eng.) and Head of R&D across materials science, heterogeneous catalysis, and nanotechnology. 7+ years bridging academic research with industrial delivery: standing up labs, deploying LIMS, running end-to-end research pipelines, and enforcing quality systems (GLP, GOST). I’ve led cross-functional teams of up to 8 with ~₽100M annual budgets and partner seamlessly with state corporations, research institutes, and private companies.
Since March 2025, I’ve served as a Project Manager at the Center for Expertise and Coordination of Informatization (CEKI), a federal institution under Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development. In the Ministry’s project office I lead performance monitoring of the federal project “Artificial Intelligence” — KPI tracking, delivery assurance, risk assessment, and stakeholder communications — and I implemented a RAG-based document-management workflow. CEKI functions as the Ministry’s ICT expert hub, while the AI federal project sits within the national project “Data Economy,” whose objective is to enable broad adoption of domestic AI technologies by businesses and citizens.
