1. Present

1. Radiation carcinogenesis – epidemiology and simulation: for the last years, my research interests have been centered on of the health effects of ionizing radiation, and during the last year – also in managing radiological emergency. I am active in statistical meta-analysis, Monte Carlo simulations and development of dynamic models, including developing computer model for real-time estimation of human and economic costs of population evacuation. My activity includes coordinating interdisciplinary research performed by international collaborations. The collaborators are affiliated with Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, National Centre for Nuclear Research (Poland), Inst. of Gerontology (Kiev, Ukraine), Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy (Moscow) and more.
2. Radiological emergency: estimating possible scenarios of radiological events (Red Team).
3. Machine learning for image processing and data fusion. Machine learning algorithms underwent explosive development during the last decade, with deep-neural-network (DNN) approach being a game-changer. During the last few years, DNN software became mature, being more and more user-oriented (rather than being specialist-oriented until recently), more and more resembling building blocks for user applications. Moreover, the nowadays trend is DNN-specific hardware (ASIC) to replace general-purpose hardware (GPU). The activity is in collaboration with ELTA Systems Ltd.
