Additionally, he led coastal expeditions to The White Sea from 1973 to 1976 as part of Moscow State University’s initiatives.
Moving forward, from May 1978 to January 1981, he served as a Professor and Deputy Chairman of the Physics-Chemical Biology Department at Irkutsk State University, where he lectured on topics such as General Biophysics, Biophysics of Complex Systems, and Biological Systems Theory. His contributions extended to research in statistical multivariable analysis of the structure of freshwater plankton communities and biological thermodynamics.
Subsequently, from February 1981 to May 1995, he held the position of Principal Scientist at the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia. Here, he specialized in mathematical treatment of multi-variable ecological data, employing methods such as cluster analysis and principal components analysis. He also developed new statistical methods, focusing on statistical modeling of marine ecosystems, including ecological risk assessment and marine environment quality estimation.
In addition to his research roles, he contributed to academia as a Professor of the System Ecology Department at Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Moscow, Russia, from February 1992 to June 1995. His teaching portfolio included courses on General Oceanography, General Ecology, Ecological Monitoring, and Marine Ecology.
Transitioning to the private sector, he served as a Programmer Analyst at Innovative Information Systems, Inc., Rockville, MD, from November 1995 to November 1996, where he was involved in the development and implementation of an online medical supply application. Following this, he joined Information Systems Solutions International, Inc., Silver Spring, MD, as a Senior Programmer from November 1996 to October 1998, contributing to the enhancement of PowerBuilder applications for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
His dedication to education continued as he assumed a part-time Professor role at Software Quality Learning, Inc., Rockville, MD, from March 1997 to August 1999. Here, he focused on educating and training PowerBuilder developers, covering fundamental to advanced topics. Currently, he also serves as the President and CEO of Global Mind Share, a non-profit organization aimed at addressing global issues critical to humanity.
