Academic degree, title: Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (NAAS)

Position: Acting Director of the Institute

Research interests: 
 Development of methodological and technological foundations for increasing the productivity of modern horticulture, based on more advanced methods of planning and conducting research, contemporary technologies for growing seedlings and fruit plantations, new approaches to planting material quality, and techniques for selecting the most suitable regions for industrial production of pome, stone fruit, and berry crops and varieties, in which they can fully realize their biological potential.
 He developed the technological foundations for distributing fruit crops by region in Ukraine and a method for assessing the realization of a species' (or variety's) biological potential under specific conditions. He systematized the soil and climatic conditions of the main fruit-growing zones according to their suitability for industrial fruit and berry production.
 Determining priority tasks and measures for the development and efficient functioning of the horticultural industry. Scientific support for the regional development of the agro-industrial complex.
