Biography:
He was born March 15, 1957 in Priluki city of Chernihiv region of Ukrainian SSR.
In 1979 he graduated from A. M. Gorky Kharkiv State University.
In 2001 (according to other data in 2002) he defended his PhD thesis at Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine which is named "Determining the provisions of celestial objects up to 15 magnitude of observations on axial meridian circle Nikolaev Astronomical Observatory" and received the degree of Candidate of Sciences (technical) sciences.
He is a Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of the Research Institute "Nikolaev Astronomical Observatory".
In 1995 in Nikolayev Observatory him in collaboration with G.I. Pinihin, A. M. Kovalchuk and Y.I. Pratsyuk automatically created a new telescope - axial meridian circle, which in 1999 was listed objects Ukraine national heritage.
