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.

Distributing Knowledge: Openness, Equity and Higher Education Transformation by Richard Heller
https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0520
The book cites our “University without Walls” https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18680951

I think this is one of the most important conversations higher education needs right now.

University without walls is no longer a concept, but a lived reality.
Our Ukrainian–Australian autoethnographic study explores how universities persist beyond territory, and why authorial voice matters in academic writing.

Burnout among Ukrainian academics is not just about individuals — it reflects how universities function. Support works only when it is trusted, accessible, and embedded in institutional culture. Otherwise, it’s just noise.

Inspired to launch a visual storytelling course at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University with Tim Winkler & Neil Bennett (Future Campus, Australia). More than photography — it’s about how we communicate ideas and science with impact.

We developed a taxonomy (AI-PMT) to assess the maturity of university AI policies, showing—on the case of 23 Ukrainian universities—that policies are becoming more advanced but remain uneven, especially beyond teaching:

EOSC just released recommendations on long-term data retention:

Glad to see our work (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04756-9) on extending CARE principles cited in the context of ethical data governance for vulnerable populations.

In Physica B, we show that porous silicon acts as an effective compliant buffer for 3C-SiC/Si heteroepitaxy, improving crystal quality and enabling more reliable integration of SiC with silicon platforms.

AI in warfare needs ethics:

We propose CARE: who benefits, who controls, who is responsible, and who is harmed.
