I obtained my BSc. and MSc. degrees in Solid State Physics/Solid State Optics at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine in 2009 and 2011 respectively. During a  joint Ph.D study at Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC, Sorbonne University Group), Paris, France and University of Calabria (UNICAL), Rende, Italy my research was focused on developing of a technique for the precise control of topological defects self-assembly in liquid crystal films and guided assembly of nanoobjects via particle-defects interactions. I was a recipient of two scholarships: Eiffel excellence scholarship program, session 2013/2014, launched by The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and a 3 year PhD Scholarship at Scuola di dottorato “B. Telesio”. I received my Ph.D degree in Physics and Chemistry of Materials (UPMC) and Mesophases and Molecular Materials (UNICAL) under the supervision of Dr. Bruno Zappone (UNICAL, CNR-IPCF) and Prof. Emmanuelle Lacaze (UPMC, CNRS UMR 7588, INSP) in December 2015.

Since 2017 I am a postdoctoral researcher at Bilkent University. At the Soft Matter Laboratory headed by Dr. Agnese Callegari and Prof. Giovanni Volpe my research was devoted to establishing a method of controlling the micro scale formation of structural defects in colloidal crystals by considering a 2D confined colloidal mixture in the presence of random optical potentials;controlled assembly of colloidal molecules assisted by critical Casimir forces.

In September 2020 I joined of the FluidFrame Lab where I am working on the project “Self-assembly of complex shaped active particles in controlled optical potentials”. My main goal is to experimentally investigate how different kinds of optical potentials induce different types of self-organisation in Janus particles.
