    RESEARCH INTERESTS

    The whole particle/high-energy astrophysics including Galactic cosmic-ray production and propagation, particle interactions with fields and matter, X-, and gamma-rays, astrophysics of neutrinos, stellar mass black holes and AGN physics, neutron stars and binaries, astrophysical plasma kinetics etc.

    My previous and current research is here; my publications are here; my short CV is here.

    TEACHING EXPERIENCE

    During several years (1985-1991) I have given lectures and seminars on the advanced course of quantum physics for the 4th year students of the Physics Department of Moscow State University, who choose to specialize in theoretical nuclear and particle physics. The topics included are the foundation of the theory of angular momentum in quantum physics, the spin density matrix, decay of oriented systems, and the quark theory of hadrons.
