Biography:
She was born on September 28, 1981 in Kharkiv city of Kharkiv region of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1998 girl graduated with a gold medal Kharkiv School ¹65.
She graduate of the Department of Astronomy at Kharkiv Karazin National University in 2003 Acquired the classification of the Master's degree.
During January 2001-December 2009 she worked first as an engineer and then a junior researcher at the Research Institute of Astronomy at the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, where she conducted research in the field of planetary solar physics, during February 2010 - March 2013 she worked at the Max Planck Institute of Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany, in the Department of Physics of Planets and Comets, studying Venus, or rather its atmosphere and clouds; Since January 2014, he has been working at the Institute of Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics at the Technical University in Braunschweig, Germany. In 2017 she returned to work at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, works in the offspring of the planets.
Astronomer works at the Venus Express Venus Monitor Camera Data Analysis team, which was developed by Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung (Germany). This camera first detected in photometry the optical phenomenon of "glory" outside the Earth, whose analysis of data allowed to reveal a greater refractive index for particles in the upper cloudy layers of the atmosphere of Venus than previously thought, probably associated with an unknown ultraviolet absorber.
During 2003-2006 she studied at the postgraduate course of the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
On April 24, 2009 she defended a PhD thesis in the Main astronomical observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on the specialty "Heliophysics and Physics of the Solar System" (01.03.03) on "Properties of stratospheric aerosols in the polar regions Jupiter based on photopolarimetric observations". It concerns the polarizing properties of haze ("veil-fog") in the polar regions of Jupiter and its dependence "on the state of solar activity". Korokhin V. V. was her research supervisor.
The sphere of her scientific activity is remote sensing of optical and physical properties of planetary atmospheres and surfaces; photometry and polarimetry of the solar system's bodies (in particular, she conducted polarimetric studies of Jupiter); processing astronomical data and developing methods and software for their analysis.
