Summary
Hello, I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering with a passion for renewable energy. My research focuses on mathematical modeling, fault diagnostics, and health condition monitoring of wind turbine components and subsystems. Currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary, I previously worked as the Deputy Chief Power Electrical Engineer at Zapolyarnaya building company. This role allowed me to gain practical experience in electrical power engineering, which has greatly enhanced my technical skills and competencies.
My expertise lies in a variety of areas, including renewable energy wind/solar, health condition monitoring, electrical power supply of industrial enterprises, vibration analysis, motor current signature analysis, advanced signal processing techniques, rotating equipment, induction machine fault diagnostics, dynamic system modeling simulation and control, artificial intelligence, and energy audit.
When I'm not working, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors through activities like hiking and fishing, as well as broadening my horizons through reading a variety of genres.
I'm excited to apply my skills and experience to a challenging role in the renewable energy field. Please feel free to connect with me to discuss opportunities for collaboration or to learn more about my research. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Title of the project:
Computer modeling of electromagnetic phenomena in non-conventional power transformers. The aim of the project was the development of methods for computer modeling and simulations of electromagnetic phenomena in non-conventional high voltage power transformers. The project resulted in new, efficient and robust algorithms, whose implementation gave information about physical processes and leaded to operationally more reliable and economically more advantageous design of transformers.
