Seeking post-doc or research position

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a post-doc or research position in the fields of
neural networks, fuzzy set theory, hybrid neuro-fuzzy techniques,
adaptive control, process modeling, identification, time-series
forecasting, fault diagnosis, intelligent data analysis or similar, in
one of West European universities or research institutes.

I was born 11.06.1976 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. My native language is
Ukrainian. I am also fluent in Russian and English. I have been
learning German for 3 years (I can understand, speak, and read
scientific literature). My writing skills in German still require
improvement, though I can write e-mails or internal reports.

I received the M.Sc. degree (with honors) in control engineering from
Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics, Kharkiv, Ukraine in
1998, and the Ph.D. degree in control engineering from the same
university in 2002. The subject of my Ph.D. thesis was "Control of
stochastic systems under uncertainty using fuzzy neural models". Since
1998, I have been with the Control Systems Research Laboratory of
Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics.

I have taken part in research projects on development of mathematical
support for control systems, diagnostics, forecasting and emulation
using adaptive identification, fuzzy and neural network techniques for
5 years. I participated in many high-level international scientific
conferences. I have been an IEEE Member since 2000 (signal processing
and neural network societies). The results of my research were
published in 38 papers, including those in international refereed
journals, edited volumes, and conference proceedings.

Recent publications in refereed international journals and edited
volumes:

In 2002, I received a 10 months scholarship for young scientists from
the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). I had been with the
Intitute of Automatic Control and System Engineering of Technical
University of Ilmenau since September, 2002 till July, 2003. I was
working on a research project "Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Systems for
Time-Series Forecasting and Control of Nonlinear Dynamic Plants".

Beside scientific qualifications, I have extensive experience in
programming and software development
(MatLab/C++/Pascal/Delphi/Assembler/SQL).

For more information, please contact me via the address below.
References can be given upon request. I would be available for the job
starting from 1.01.2004, and for a personal interview at any agreed
time (I have a multiple-entry visa for Schengen countries valid till
30.04.2004).

With best regards,
