Research projects

  • Optimization of a fluorescence reporter system for dense-culture imaging of human dopamine-like neurons and analysis of mitochondrial motility in transduced cells. Integrative Cell Signalling group, LCSB, 2017 (master thesis), Luxembourg.
  • Tracking of axonal mitochondria. Integrative Cell Signalling group, LCSB, 2015 (winter internship), Luxembourg.
  • Fusion gene detection in melanoma. Bioinformatics Core group, LCSB, 2015 (summer internship), Luxembourg.
  • Hyper Dimensional Imaging Microscopy (HDIM). Department of Oncology - Hutchison/MRC Research Centre, University of Cambridge, 2011-2013, United Kingdom.
    Prototyping SPAD-based camera for spectrally- and polarization- resolved time-gated FLIM that enables the parallel detection of all properties of light. The project involves development of acquisition and data analysis software as well as collaboration with FBK (producer of these chips).
  • Simulation and modeling of SPAD-based systems for fluorescence detection. SOI (FBK) and DISI (UniTn), 2011, Italy.
    Performance analysis of the SPAD simulation system developed during PhD, optimization of score, simulation time, and accuracy.
  • Development of a simulation environment for the analysis and the optimal design of fluorescence detectors based on single photon avalanche diodes. ICT (UniTn), 2010, Italy.
    Ph.D. thesis. (abstract, slides, full pdf)
  • Simulation of SPAD detector with application to fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. IMNS (University of Edinburgh), 2009 (6-months internship), United Kingdom.
    Development of the simulation model of a SPAD-based detector and experimental setup used to capture FLIM image. The project combined the computer science (simulation), physics (experiment setup) and electronics (SPAD model).
  • Analytical and simulative techniques for the evaluation of the use of directional antennas in WLAN/WMAN networks. DISI (UniTn), 2006 (5-month internship), Italy.
    In this project I extended and improved an event-driven simulator of wireless networks based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. From this work I gained a deep insight into the operating principles of wireless networks, and also extended my experience in C++ programming.
  • Simulation models of energy transfer and relaxation processes in complex molecular systems. BSU, 2005, Belarus.
    This project has been dedicated to the development of simulation models of different energy transfer processes in complex molecular systems. The work required an expertise in multiple disciplines, such as physics, biology and computer science
  • Development of methods and algorithms of statistical analysis of biomolecular systems. BSU, 2003, Belarus.
    In this project I have developed a number of models of energy transfer processes in idealized molecular systems. The project also included a neural-network based recognition of models and their parameters.
  • Web-based encyclopedia on physical effects. BSU, 2003, Belarus.
    In this project I was part of the team designing a web-based interactive encyclopedia. My role was to define the user-system interaction scenarios. The interactions were specified both as UML use-case diagrams and as structured scenarios of system responses to the possible user actions.
  • Analysis and design of cryptosystems based on elliptic curves. 3rd and 4th year project. BSU, 2001-2003, Belarus.
    This work was dedicated to the review and analysis of various cryptographic systems. As a result, I have designed and implemented a Java-based cryptosystem for textual information.
