In 2005, Oleksandr began his career as a student of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, choosing the Department of Optical and Optoelectronic Devices at the Faculty of Instrumentation. After completing his higher education in 2011, he received a Master's degree with honours in Laser and Optoelectronic Engineering. He started working at the university in 2014 at the Department of Non-Destructive Testing Instruments and Systems of his native faculty as an assistant. In 2015, he defended his dissertation for the degree of Candidate of Technical Sciences on ‘Passive optical thermalisation of diopter lenses of infrared devices’ in the speciality 05.11.07 - ‘Optical Devices and Systems’. In 2021-2022, he held the position of Senior Lecturer at the Department of ASNK, and today he successfully performs the duties of Associate Professor.
It should be noted that the young researcher began his scientific activity, the main focus of which is optical technologies, while studying for a master's degree. A significant part of his publications is devoted to the development, study of characteristics and improvement of design methods for optical and optoelectronic systems and devices, in particular with the use of modern automated software. The methods he proposed were used in the implementation of the state research projects ‘Thermal Imaging Surveillance Systems’ and ‘Passive Optical Thermalization of Infrared Lenses’. Last year, with the participation of O. Muravyov, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute performed a research project ‘Investigation of the prospects for the use of automated control with a trained neuroregulator in multifrequency eddy current nondestructive testing’, commissioned by Aleistin LLC.
To date, the author has published more than 100 scientific papers, including 5 articles in publications included in the international scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science, more than 20 articles in professional journals of Ukraine, 10 publications in foreign periodicals, abstracts and materials of conferences of various levels, and has six patents of Ukraine for utility models. O.V. Muravyov is an active participant in national and international scientific and technical conferences held, in particular, in the UK, Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, etc.
By the way, Oleksandr Muravyov's research interests are not limited to optical technologies. His research is also carried out in the areas of digital modelling, non-destructive testing and diagnostics, artificial intelligence, robotics, and UAV technologies.
The scientist devotes a lot of time and attention to working with students. He actively engages his students - undergraduate and postgraduate students of the ASNC Department - in research and development. More than 30 papers prepared by the scientist were published in co-authorship with students. The special achievements and fruitful work of some of them under the guidance of O. Muravyov allowed them to win scientific competitions held annually in Ukraine.
For example, student Denis Storozhyk won a prize in the first round of the All-Ukrainian competition of student research papers in natural, technical and humanitarian sciences (2020) in the field of Oil and Gas Industry in the nomination ‘Measuring Instruments, Information Technology and Energy Efficiency’ with his research paper ‘A Device for Monitoring Surface Cleanliness’. 3rd year student Ivanna Dovbysh with her research paper ‘Increasing the level of autonomy of unmanned aerial vehicles and its connection with the peculiarities of implementing the swarm use of drones’ won the first round of the All-Ukrainian competition of student works in the fields of knowledge and specialties of the academic year 2023/2024 in the specialty 151 ‘Automation and computer-integrated technologies’.
Today, Oleksandr Muravyov teaches students the following subjects: ‘Automation of Design of Optical Instrumentation Elements, Modern Optical Technologies and Systems, Digital Modelling of Objects and Dynamic Systems, Digital Signal and Image Processing. The results obtained during the research are implemented in the educational process when teaching these disciplines, as well as to modernise the equipment and expand the capabilities of the optical non-destructive testing laboratory (building 20), where the researcher works.
O. Muravyov's conscious choice when entering the university led to a successful scientific research and many years of fruitful work as a scientist and teacher. The researcher still has many new opportunities and achievements ahead of him.
