Research interest:

Study on alien and invasive insect species in recent fauna of Belarus, biology and ecology of Hemipteroidea insects, morphometric research of invasive species of Aphidoidea. The main goal of my research activity is registration of alien and invasive insect species, monitoring of invader populations and geographic distribution of invasive species, tracking of alien species spread across the territory of Belarus and neighboring countries.

The general number of publications:

about 60, including 15 papers in peer reviewed journals
