My research interests lie in the areas of economic history and the history of economic thought. Since defending my dissertation on the Kyiv School of Political Economy, I have been studying the history of labor and intellectual migration from Ukraine, academic mobility in its modern and historical context, the development of natural gas exchanges, and the post-war reconstruction of science and education. Currently, I am working on identifying historical barriers to human potential development in Ukraine, and middle-class and economic inequality.
Taught the History of Economic Thought at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Organized scientific events and popular scientific activities.
Advocate for supporting Ukraine, volunteering on the United for Ukraine project.
