I am a Ukrainian scientist and the Vice-Rector for Scientific Work at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University. My interests include materials science, nanotechnology, STEM education, AI in science, general issues of science, psychology, and education.
Our new article explores radiation effects in gadolinium gallium garnet (Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂), a garnet-family crystal used in photonic and detector applications:

The war in Ukraine is turning academic burnout into a cumulative condition. Prolonged uncertainty and loss of control lead to exhaustion, numbing, and loss of meaning among university lecturers.

Emergency power = access to learning.
Together with Natalia Tsybuliak, I took part in the 3rd International Conference “Integrity, Open Science and Artificial Intelligence in Academia and Beyond” (IOSAI-2025), where we presented our work on AI stigmatization in academia and the need to move from “Was AI used?” to “What was delegated to AI?” using GAIDeT.

Today I proudly presented the results of BSPU’s Open Science Policy implementation to our Academic Council: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17734923
As part of Open4UA, we advance #OpenScience, support #CoARA, #DORA, the Stockholm Declaration, FAIR & CARE principles, and build a resilient “university without walls.”
Openness, responsibility, and service to society remain our core values.

Last week I had the honour to join the TAIEX expert mission on evaluating Ukraine’s National Open Science Plan. Today, a smaller group of participants met to reflect on the key findings and define next steps — including a roadmap toward a coherent national open science policy.

AI is already part of research & education — but who sets the rules? 🤖
Together with @serhii we explain why transparency matters more than punishment.

Russia doesn’t just occupy cities — it occupies knowledge.
Universities become tools of propaganda, “academic diplomacy” a channel of influence.

Much has been said about the #PublishOrPerish culture and its damaging effects on academia. But in a recent paper I stepped briefly into the role of advocatus diaboli:
📄 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00210-025-04651-5
Yes, publish or perish has its risks. But in systems marked by academic inertia, lack of innovation, or deeply entrenched hierarchies, this very pressure can sometimes be the only mechanism capable of moving the system forward! 🆙

I had my science day: spoke at IEEE KhPI Week about cadmium–tellurium heterostructures for optoelectronics and solar energy ☀️
Then — a meeting on Open4UA, and finishing the day with Ukrainian Reproducibility Network.
Ukrainian science is open, transparent, reproducible ✌️
✨ New on The Scholarly Kitchen!
My interview with Frances Pinter on #GAIDeT – the Generative AI Delegation Taxonomy.
Why this matters:
🔹 AI detectors don’t work
🔹 GAIDeT reduces stigma & fear
🔹 Task-based disclosure > useless prompt dumps

In our new article, we present the first-ever map of relocations of 35 Ukrainian universities due to the war.
It is the most comprehensive review of relocation models, based on extensive data from 2014–2025.

Our new paper in #Ceramics explores oxide ceramics as safer and more durable materials for next-generation solar cells.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.3390/ceramics8040119
By combining a bibliometric analysis of 50K+ publications with a functional review, we show why TiO₂ and ZnO are already key players, while CeO₂ and Fe₂O₃ open paths to green hydrogen and innovative solar technologies.

🔬 Our new review in Ceramics: Binary Oxide Ceramics for Solar Cell Applications — the most comprehensive to date, based on 50,000+ publications.
We not only summarize the field but also outline a roadmap for future research.
Berdyansk State Pedagogical University has adopted AI policies in research & education:

📄 Education: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17184314
We reject unreliable AI detectors 🚫 and instead promote transparent disclosure (GAIDeT) ✅ https://doi.org/10.1080/08989621.2025.2544331
This year’s #UQAF gathered ~1000 participants.
I spoke on GAIDeT – Generative AI Delegation Taxonomy as a tool for transparency & academic integrity in HE.
Why bans & detectors don’t work, and how GAIDeT helps separate human vs AI contributions.
