 My primary research interest is in application of x-ray crystallography for structure elucidations of various condensed matters (minerals, ferroelectrics, superconductors, organic, inorganic and biological molecular crystals) to understanding and use their functions and/or rationally design new materials, drugs. For this I focus on the application and development of various advanced x-ray diffraction (single-crystal, powder, SAXS/WAXS), physical and chemical methods to determine accurate high-resolution structures at differ environments. The approach is effective to studies structural aspects of phase transformations and functional specificities in new materials with ultimate applications in different interesting fields.
 My research as a PhD student was conducted in the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Chernogolovka, Moscow district) working on the incommensurately modulated crystal structures in ferroelectrics and superconductors. The research was advanced by application of bond-valence and super-space approaches in McMaster University (Canada, Prof I.D. Brown) and in University of Bayreuth (Germany, Prof S. van Smaalen). From 1999 as JSPS postdoc I studied two-dimensionally modulated akermanite mineral structures in Hyogo University (Japan, Prof M. Ohmasa) and from 2001 was affiliated to Protein3000 project in RIKEN/SPring-8. In scope of the project I have created 67 PDB of protein, protein-ligand complex structures from various biological pathways. Mainly, I have focused on structural aspects of several pharmaceutically relevant enzymes, biotin protein ligase, circadian clock protein as well as stability and metal-binding functions of proteins. In JASRI my research is devoted to X-ray diffraction and MEM electron density studies of the polydiacetylene (PDA) crystallines. Combination of the crystalline structures with MEM electron, nuclear densities and electrostatic potentials calculations provides key insights of assembling of the PDA polymers, intermolecular hydrogen bonds, possible mechanisms of topo-chemical transformation and their unique functions. Recently, I have started to work on powder diffraction to explore the Rietveld/MEM technique potential for structure-function imaging.
