  Южный Федеральный Университет (бывший Ростовский Государственный Университет)

  Jan 2009 - Jan 2009

  Laboratory Assistant

  I was taking part in the field and desktop studies of terrestrial and marine resources in the coastland region from 2007 to 2009 as a laboratory assistant at the Research Institute of Biosphere Geochemistry, Novorossiysk, Russia. We examined how mismanagement of the seashore sites affects the biological resources of the Black Sea shale strip and delivered the outputs to the local administration and decision-makers. These works were recognized later as tasks of SDGs 14 (conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources) and 15 (protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems).

  Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU)

  Jan 2011 - Jan 2013

  Technician

  During my undergraduate studies at the Lomonosov Moscow State University from 2009 to 2014, I was engaged in an investigation of land transformation in Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Southern Russia conducted by the Department of Landscape Geochemistry and Soil Geography. After graduating therefrom with a Master’s degree in Environmental and Natural Resource Management, I found myself competent enough in what would be later called SDGs 2 (end hunger, achieve food security), 6 (ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation), and 17 (strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development), as I practiced enough in soil quality assessment, river-lake ecosystem studies, and helped the communities of the Global South countries to manage their geo-resources way more efficiently.

  АО "Росгеология"​

  Jan 2012 - Jan 2012

  Field Worker

  In 2012, I joined MagadanGeology JSC as a field worker of the geochemical exploration expedition in the Russian Far East. I had a great chance to master my skills in working with the issues of missing data on mineral resources, e.g., gold and tin deposits. These works indirectly contributed to the accomplishment of SDGs 8 (promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth) and 9 (build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization) by expanding the resource base of precious and critical metals and assisting in regional development in the underpopulated area.
