I am a Ukrainian scientist and the Vice-Rector for Scientific Work at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University. My interests include materials science, nanotechnology, STEM education, AI in science, general issues of science, psychology, and education.
- A powerful piece by Professor Marek Tesar in Future Campus highlighting the story of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University — a University without walls, sustained by people and care, even in wartime: futurecampus.com.au/2026/02/03/r... #UniversityWithoutWalls #AcademicResilience #UkrainianAcademia
- Are review articles dying? Not quite. Generative AI isn’t replacing reviews, it’s separating descriptive syntheses from reflexive, field-shaping work. The future of reviews lies in interpretation, where human judgment remains indispensable doi.org/10.1002/leap... #AcademicPublishing
- Instead of evacuating far from risk, some Ukrainian universities chose to relocate within their region during the war. Based on interviews in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, we introduce flexible regional relocation as a strategy of educational resilience. doi.org/10.1016/j.rs... #EducationalResilience
- Gave a lecture today on Digital & AI Tools for Responsible Science at Kyiv Aviation Institute 🇺🇦 We discussed how digital tools and AI support the full research lifecycle and why impact, responsibility, and ethics matter. Slides: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #ResponsibleScience #AIinResearch
- Our new article explores radiation effects in gadolinium gallium garnet (Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂), a garnet-family crystal used in photonic and detector applications: doi.org/10.3390/crys... #MaterialsScience #Garnet #RadiationPhysics #PhotonicMaterials
- The war in Ukraine is turning academic burnout into a cumulative condition. Prolonged uncertainty and loss of control lead to exhaustion, numbing, and loss of meaning among university lecturers. doi.org/10.1057/s415... #WarInUkraine #AcademicBurnout
- Grateful to the Future Campus team for launching this fundraiser to support students of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University during ongoing power outages in Ukraine. Donate: gofund.me/cc730536d Emergency power = access to learning.
- I took part in the 3rd International Conference “Integrity, Open Science and Artificial Intelligence in Academia and Beyond” (IOSAI-2025), where we presented our work on AI stigmatization in academia Slides: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #IOSAI2025 #GAIDeT #AIethics #OpenScience #ResearchIntegrity
- Key digital tools every research manager should know — from my presentation at the national training for research managers in Ukraine: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #ResearchManagement #OpenScience #FAIRdata #SciComm #DigitalTools
- Today I proudly presented the results of BSPU’s Open Science Policy implementation to our Academic Council: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... As part of Open4UA, we advance #OpenScience, support #CoARA, #DORA and build a resilient “university without walls.” #OpenScience #Open4UA #BSPU #CoARA #DORA
- Last week I had the honour to join the TAIEX expert mission on evaluating Ukraine’s National Open Science Plan. Today, a smaller group of participants met to reflect on the key findings and define next steps. #OpenScience #TAIEX #UkraineScience #ERA #ResearchPolicy #OpenAccess #FAIRData
- Glad to share my lecture “Transparent Disclosure of AI Contributions as a Foundation of Reproducible Research” 📊 Presentation: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 📄 GAIDeT: doi.org/10.1080/0898... #GAIDeT #OpenScience #AIethics #Reproducibility #PeerReview #ResearchIntegrity #Open4UA #UARN
- AI is already part of research & education We explain why transparency matters more than punishment. 📖 Article: zn.ua/ukr/TECHNOLOGIES/khto-maje-vstanoviti-pravila-vikoristannja-shi-v-nautsi-ta-osviti.html ⚙️ Solution: GAIDeT doi.org/10.1080/08989621.2025.2544331 #AIethics #GAIDeT #ResponsibleAI
- Our story of rebuilding a University Without Walls after displacement and war — now beautifully told by Tim Winkler in Future Campus. 🔗 futurecampus.com.au/home/inside-... #UniversityWithoutWalls #Ukraine #HigherEducation #Resilience #FutureCampus
- Russia doesn’t just occupy cities — it occupies knowledge. Universities become tools of propaganda, “academic diplomacy” a channel of influence. My op-ed in New Voice of Ukraine on how Moscow manipulates global academia: english.nv.ua/opinion/how-... #HigherEducation #AcademicFreedom #ScienceAndWar
- The best article on academic production I’ve read recently. It’s refreshing to see such a polyphony of voices, where the authors both critically challenge and convincingly justify the system — in a way that feels deeply organic and intellectually honest.
- I had my science day: spoke at IEEE KhPI Week about cadmium–tellurium heterostructures for optoelectronics and solar energy ☀️ Then — a meeting on Open4UA, and finishing the day with Ukrainian Reproducibility Network. #Open4UA #UkrainianScience #Reproducibility #OpenScience
