For your reference:

Bair Shaybonov is a Candidate of Physics and Mathematics, senior researcher of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, member of the Baikal-GVD collaboration, regular participant of Baikal expeditions. Bair was born in Irkutsk in 1980. He graduated from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in 2003. While studying, he got to know that a large science experiment was being conducted in his native region and decided to deal with it in the future. He completed his postgraduate course at the Institute for Nuclear Research of the RAS on the topic of the Baikal experiment. Since 2006 Bair works at JINR on the project of Baikal Neutrino Telescope construction. His activities are closely related to this neutrino experiment: he coordinates data processing and analysis. Lake Baikal’s nature impressed Bair so much that he started taking pictures during the expeditions. His photographs were published in popular science journals, used in well-known media projects and presented at large science conferences illustrating the talks on the Baikal neutrino experiment.
