I designed, developed, and optimized fermentation processes to produce omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae, scaling laboratory methods to pilot and production scales with a focus on efficiency and consistency. Using statistical tools, I analyzed experimental data to identify trends and provided actionable insights through detailed reports and presentations. I solved challenges related to algal strain performance, media formulation, and scalability, while maintaining comprehensive documentation of procedures and results. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I ensured compliance with GLP and GMP standards, provided technical support, and mentored junior staff in fermentation techniques. Additionally, I contributed to the creation of training materials and SOPs, staying informed on advancements in fermentation science to enhance processes and outcomes.

This is an academic volunteer position, which includes the following duties: peer-review of the research papers submitted to the journal, evaluating the manuscript content according to journal standards, making decisions, and reporting to the Senior Editors.

I collaborated with a team of researchers to investigate microbial diversity in hypersaline soils, culminating in two annual reports for the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and three research papers published in 2016, 2018, and 2020. From 2012 to 2013, I contributed to a cyanobacterial diversity project in the Kulunda Steppe, successfully isolating cyanobacteria and reporting findings to RFBR. As a project leader from 2014 to 2016, I led a team of four scientists in studying the microbial diversity of hypersaline soils in Lake Elton, resulting in two research papers and a presentation at the "Soil Microbial Ecology 2015" conference in Prague. Additionally, in 2016-2017, I led a BASF-funded project testing fungicides for soybeans, which supported the release of new fungicides in the Russian market.
