Anton Sidko

I am working under two R&D projects: The first project is related to my ongoing PhD thesis and is dedicated to analysis of age-dependent genetic risks of myocardial infarction. The second is devoted to a development of a biomimetics vascular valve prosthesis for minimally invasive surgery (pre-clinical research). A valve prototype was developed, passed through in-vitro tests and a patent application has been filed just after 1.5 year since first discussion of a manufacturing method conception.

I was engaged in the preparation and translation of proposals, contracts, technical documentation for separation equipment and reporting to the back office. Also I managed test units, lead laboratory separation quality assurance of customers materials, and assisted service engineers with interpreting and manual labor during factory acceptance tests (thickening, dewatering, drying) and maintenance of the separation machinery.

I took part in sales activities including market analysis, calls, arranging and leading of presentations and technical negotiations with the following feasibility study of proposed industrial gauges and automation solutions. I was responsible for bulk materials control equipment, and the development of automation systems based on them. The main focus was on promoting a novel nuclear source based on-line elemental analyzer which was successfully brought on the Russian market.

R&D projects concerned with hydro-metallurgy.
