Senior lecturer of the Department of Instruments and Systems of Orientation and Navigation of Faculty of Instrumentation Engineering Sergey Alekseyevich Tsybulnik is the winner of the University Contest "Young Teacher-Researcher 2016". Kiev Polytechnic he considers his second home. And not without reason.

In 2012 he graduated from the KPI on the specialty "Precision Mechanics Devices" and received a diploma with a mark. In the same year he enrolled in the postgraduate study at the University and works part-time at the Department of Instruments and Systems of Orientation and Navigation. Thesis on "Improvement of means of functional diagnostics and protection of reservoirs on the basis of simulation modeling" under the direction of  Doctor of Technical Sciences, prof. N.I Burau defended May 31, 2016

Today S.O. Tsybulnik conducts scientific and pedagogical activity. He reads courses: "Systems CAE / CAD", "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics-3, Applied Mechanics", "Mathematical Models of Physical Processes", "Information Computer Systems". All disciplines, taught by Sergey Alekseevich, are constantly improving with the use of modern information and computer technologies.

While still a student, S.O. Tsybulnik worked part-time as a technician, and later a junior researcher at the Department of Instruments and Systems of Orientation and Navigation. "Science is a great puzzle," says the teacher, "and every scientist collects only a small part of it." He owes his professional development to the scientific leaders - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor N.I Burau and Ph.D., Ph.D. Yu.G. Zhukovsky, who brought up a curious student of a modern scholar.

Since 2010, S.O. Tsybulnik  has been working within the framework of state budget affairs with the National Antarctic Scientific Center (NANTS) of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in accordance with the State target scientific and technical program for conducting research in Antarctica for 2011-2020. He readily describes his work :"From Every year, the issues of reliability of building and engineering constructions that directly or indirectly affect people and the environment are becoming more and more acute. These issues are especially relevant in Antarctica, where I create a harsh climate and a distant location. There are additional problems in the event of emergencies. Therefore, the question of controlling the technical condition of the structures of the Ukrainian Antarctic station "Academician Vernadsky" is at the forefront of attention in the complex diagnostics of objects. Since during the Antarctic winter it is difficult to get to the Ukrainian station, it is necessary to provide the wintering population with the most comfortable and safe conditions. Diesel is the main fuel, which provides the whole station with energy. It is stored in a steel vertical welded reservoir, the leakage of which can lead to an ecological catastrophe and human casualties. In the framework of the State Program, simulation modeling was carried out, during which a critical operating conditions were determined for the reservoir and preventive measures were proposed. Also developed is an automated early warning system for leakage of fuel, which not only signals the presence of leakage, but also predicts the probability of its occurrence in advance. Great support in the scientific research provided by the head Department of Scientific and Technical Information of the National Academy of Sciences of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine - O.V. Kuzko ".

Senior lecturer S.O. Tsybulnik is the author of more than 40 scientific and methodological works, including 7 articles in professional journals (two are part of the Scopus Scientific Center), has 3 patents of Ukraine for utility model and 9 certificates of copyright. He takes an active part in the work of scientific and technical conferences and seminars and attracts students to it.

The young scientist plans not to dwell on the achievements and develop science in Ukraine, encourage students to solve interesting and urgent tasks and scientific research in general.
