MEPhI. The laboratory of functional electro-physical diagnostics and non-destructive testing

(September 2011 - May 2014)

Advisor: Vitaliy Surin, PhD

Project: Modeling the surface of materials under stress

Objective: To model the dynamic surface roughness of materials under stress using contact and non-contact scanning potentiometry methods

Description:

Assisted in the application of a tunnel conductivity model to the study of electronic work function in metals
Performed experimental assessment of the influence of dynamic surface roughness on the emission current and electronic work function in silver, nickel, stainless steel, and other thin wires
Mentored 2 students on the development of a vertical displacement system to collect current along the surface of a wire and on the improvement of the sensor positioning accuracy of an experimental apparatus being built to study electronic work function in metals
Presented research results at the exhibition of research-engineering projects “Science and Innovations of MEPhI” (2013), the XI Kurchatov Youth Scientific School in Moscow (2013), the Practical Conference “Information and Communication Technology in Education, Science, and Manufacturing” in Protvino (2014), and MEPhI Scientific Sessions (2013, 2014). Contributed to 4 conference publications
The research results found practical application in new devices of electrophysical nondestructive diagnostic developed in collaboration with the State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM

The Experimental Apparatus “Poisk-PB”

A.A. Bochvar High-Technology Research Institute of Inorganic Materials

(June 2014 - February 2016)

Advisors: Vladimir Kuznetsov, PhD & Aleksey Shestopalov, PhD

Project: Corrosion of nuclear reactor fuel elements

Objective: To develop a mathematical model of low-temperature oxidation and hydrogenation of fuel rod claddings of water-water energetic reactors

Description:

Examined various mathematical models of the oxidation and hydrogenation of fuel rod claddings and adapted the most appropriate one to the processes occurring in water-water energetic reactors
Verified the model accuracy by comparing predicted and empirical data
Integrated the model into START-3A software package used for validating fuel rod function
Contributed to a conference publication as the first author to share the project results at the International Scientific – Practical Conference “Contemporary State and Development Prospects of Scientific Thought” in Ufa (2015)
Assisted colleagues with processing experimental data from nuclear reactor testing and translating scientific articles from English to Russian
