From 2015 to 2018, he worked as an assistant, and from September 2018, he was hired as an associate professor of the Department of Surface Mining. In 2021, he was awarded the academic title of associate professor of the department of surface mining.

Teaches disciplines: "Technology of open development of mineral deposits" and "Metrology, standardization and certification" for students of 2-4 courses of the "Mining" specialty.

His scientific activity related to the development of technological solutions for the mining and preparation for the exploitation of deep lignite deposits of Ukraine in difficult hydrogeological conditions, as well as the organization of the operation of transshipment points in the conditions of deep iron ore pits.

From 2018 to 2020, he was a scholarship holder of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, in 2020 he became a Laureate of the President of Ukraine Prize for young scientists. Winner of the regional competitions Best Young Scientist of the Dnipropetrovsk Region (2019) and Young Scientists of the Dnipropetrovsk Region (2021).

He has more than 100 published works, including: 1 foreign monograph, 5 chapters in collective monographs in English, 2 textbooks, 17 articles included in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science, 30 in scientific specialized publications, 7 articles in foreign publications, 25 materials of international scientific conferences, 5 patents of Ukraine for inventions, 2 foreign patents and 3 methodological recommendations.
