Associate Professor | Researcher | Web & ML/DL Developer

ABOUT ME

I am an Associate Professor at the Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology, specializing in Process Modeling, Control and Automation. With a PhD earned cum laude from the University of Cantabria, Spain, my research focuses on decarbonization technologies and advanced separation processes.

Beyond academia, I am passionate about technology and development. I combine my engineering expertise with web development and machine learning, creating innovative solutions ranging from industrial application to smart automation projects.

My work has been published in leading international journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, with contributions to sustainability and process engineering. I actively serve as a reviewer for prestigious journals including Scientific Reports (Springer Nature), Sustainability and Processes (MDPI).
