Biography:
He was born on October 9, 1971 in the Kharkiv city of Kharkiv region of Ukrainian SSR.
In 1993, he graduated from the Department of Astronomy of the Faculty of Physics of A. M. Gorky Kharkiv State University, majoring in "Teaching Physics and Astronomy" and "Physics and Astronomy", which he entered in 1988.
During 1993-1997, he worked as an astronomy teacher at the Kharkiv City Children's Palace of Culture.
During 1994-1997, he studied at the graduate school of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
During 1997-1998 he worked as an engineer, during 1999-2002 as a research associate, during 2002-2010 as a senior researcher, during 2010-2013 he was a leading researcher, worked for some time as a scientific secretary, during 2013-2014 he worked in the position of head of the department in the department of remote sensing of planets of the Astronomical Institute of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
In 1998 (according to other sources in 1999) he defended his candidate's thesis "Prediction of the chemical composition and zoning of the surface of the visible hemisphere of the Moon based on optical measurements".
In 1999 and 2000, he was awarded student membership in the American Geophysical Union.
Since 2012, he has been a member of the 15th commission "Physical study of comets and minor planets" of the International Astronomical Union.
Since 2014, he has been working as the director of the Astronomical Institute of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
Developed together with R. V. Bondarenko, Y. I. Velikodsky, M. A. Kreslavsky, V. V. Korokhin, N. V. Opanasenko, D. G. Stankevich, L. V. Starukhina, and Y. G. Shkuratov at the observatory of Kharkiv University, methods of remote diagnostics, which made it possible to construct maps of the distribution of chromophoric (iron and titanium) and other rock-forming elements (Mg, Ca, O) on the lunar surface, as well as helium concentrations, distribution maps of the thickness of the lunar regolith and its roughness parameters.
Also, together with M. A. Kreslavskyi, N. V. Opanasenko, V. A. Psaryov, D. G. Stankevich and Y. G. Shkuratov, he constructed a number of maps of various characteristics of the lunar surface based on the data of the space survey carried out by the spacecraft "Zond- 6, -8", "Luna-22", "Klementina", "Lunar Prospector", "Smart-1".
In 2000, MAIK Publishing House and the Russian Academy of Sciences awarded the prize for the best publications in the Astronomical Herald magazine in 1999 to the team of scientists of the Kharkiv Observatory N.V. Bondarenko, V.G. Kaidashu, L.V. Starukhiniy, Yu.G. Shkuratova.
In 2010, he became a laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine.
In 2010, he received the Book Award for Basic Sciences of the International Academy of Astronautics.
In 2011, he became a laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology.
Teaches courses "Informatics and programming", "Mathematical modeling".
The main field of scientific work is planetary astrophysics. Also deals with the processing of astronomical images. The scientist's research activities include assessments of the chemical composition and mineralogy of lunar soils based on a joint analysis of compositional, petrographic, and spectroscopic data obtained by the Lunar Soil Characterization Consortium and image data from the Clementine mission; analysis and interpretation of polarimetric images of Mars by the Hubble Space Telescope (NASA-DoD project); analysis of cloud dynamics in the Martian atmosphere based on HST multispectral data in the ultraviolet; photometry of particle surfaces in a wide range of phase angles to access the physical properties of planetary surfaces; study of photometric anomalies of the lunar surface according to the data of the SMART-1 lunar mission, an international project of the European Space Agency; mapping of photometric function variations and polarization parameters for the near side of the Moon based on telescopic data; development of phase-proportional images as a tool for qualitative photometric analysis of the upper layer of the lunar regolith; identification of natural surface structure anomalies and artificially altered regolith using phase-ratio images (LRO, JAXA SELENE missions).
He is the author of more than 140 scientific publications in leading domestic and foreign professional publications.
