Leading scientist's research interests:

• Micro-mechanics of heterogeneous materials; Effective Properties; Cross-property connections between physical properties; Non-destructive monitoring of aging in metals.
• Rough contacts: Their stiffness and conductivity.
  
• Geophysics and rock mechanics.
  
• Viscosity of suspensions containing particles of diverse shapes.
• Piezoelectrics Invit.

Quote by the head of the laboratory: Micrommechanics is a relatively new domain that focuses on determining correlation between microstructure of materials and their mechanical and thermal characteristics. At the Laboratory, methods of microengineering have been developed in application to creation of materials for vehicles working under the conditions of the Far North.
