"I graduated from the Institute of Physics and Engineering of the Dubna State University with a degree in 'Fundamental Problems of the Physics of the Microworld' in 2021, and in 2023, I completed my Master's degree at the same university. I joined the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems when I learnt that one of the scientific supervisors was looking for a prospective staff member. I had a long-standing desire to join experimental research in physics, specifically the search for particles coming from space. I think this is also an effective approach to searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. I was very interested in what they do here.
I have been working at the laboratory since 2024, holding the position of engineer in the Department of Particle Physics. I am a member of the NOvA experiment group, and currently, my main task is studying WIMPs, as one of the NOvA detectors has an introductory setup for searching for such particles. My scientific supervisor is Oleg Borisovich Samoilov.
My main wish for girls is to communicate and discuss science with pleasure and as much as possible, not to confine themselves to a narrow circle of tasks, and to follow the development of individual areas of physics, especially those relevant today. I think all of this inspires us to solve new problems and brings colleagues closer together."
