Biography
I have graduated from the Faculty of Geology, Tashkent State University, Uzbekistan (in 1993). Specializing mainly in Geochemistry and Mineralogy.
My PhD thesis and the related project at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, focused on Environmental Geochemistry of heavy metals in mining and metallurgical areas. After receiving my PhD degree in 2000, I'm continuing my research at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics in Tashkent on a project on forms of heavy metals in soil and plant ashes within the mining and industrial areas of Uzbekistan.
In 2001, I have visited the Institute of Soil Science and Soil Geography, University of Bayreuth, as short term research fellow German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Where I continued on this project and have a collaboration on "heavy metal partitioning, and storage in polluted soils along a deposition gradient".
From August 2003 to July 2004, I joined the Soil ecology laboratory, Faculty of Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University, as UNESCO/ISRAEL co-sponsored postdoctoral fellow and have had collaboration on impact of heavy metal pollution on soil microorganisms.
In January-February 2004 I have visited the Laboratory of Economic Geology and Geochemistry of the Faculty of Geology, the National Kapodistrian University of Athens as NATO short term research fellow and have a collaboration on heavy metal sequential extraction procedure.
1.03.2005-28.02.2007 I was involved on my INTAS Postdoctoral research fellowship project on "Heavy metals in soils Angren-Almalyk mining industrial area: distribution, forms, bioavailability, and impacts on nematode and microbial biomass, diversity and tolerance"During this fellowship period I have visited Soil Geography and Environmental Geochemistry groups in Mainz University (Mainz, Germany), and Soil Ecology lab at Bar-Ilan University (Israel) for collaborative studies on Environmental Geochemistry.
03.01.2007-31.12.2009 I was involved on my NATO RIG project on "Biogeochemical Processes in Metal-Contaminated Soils of Angren-Almalyk Mining Area (Uzbekistan)".
01.01.2010-31.12.2012 I was involved in Environmental Geochemistry investigations within the project "Environmental Geochemical and mineralogical aspects of extraction technologies of nonferrous and precious metals from technogenic deposits in Almalyk mining area" 2009-2011. Also, I was involved TWAS-UNESCO Associateship Scheme. Within this program, I have visited The International Center for Environmental & Nuclear Sciences (ICENS) at the University of the West Indies (Jamaica) for collaborative studies on Environmental Geochemistry.
28.06.2012-25.09.2012 I have visited Prof.Kersten's "Environmental Geochemistry" group in Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz within the DAAD research fellowship program. Also, participated in 34th IGC 6-11 August 2012, Brisbane, Australia.
At the same time, I'm continued my investigations on Environmental Geochemistry within the project "Mineralogical and geochemical assessment of metalliferous industrial waste Novo-Angren, Angren TPP and Chadak gold processing plant" 2012-2014.
01.06.2013-31.12.2015 I have collaborated with Prof.Kersten at the Institute of Geosciences in Johannes Gutenberg University at Mainz within the project "Coal Combustion Wastes in Angren Industrial Area: Environmental Implication, Remediation and Recycling aspects" founded by AvH George Forster Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers Programm.
01.09.2017-31.08.2018 I have visited Prof. Dr. Qingguo (Jack) Huang's lab. at UGA CAES Griffin Campus, Department of Crop & Soil Sciences and collaborating within the project "The impact of ultrafine- and nanoparticles on soil chemical and microbial properties" founded by Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program.
At present time I'm continuing my investigations on Environmental Geochemistry within the project "The evolution and dynamics of natural and technogenic processes and their impact on the environment of the highland and foothill regions of Uzbekistan" 2017-2020 at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, State Committee on Geology and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan - Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
