SUMMARY
35 year experience in the mineralogical fields (175 papers and 5 monographs): Studying minerals and mineral paragenesis with modern methods of mineralogical investigations. Working out of problem of heterogenety of mineral individs. describing of new mineral paragenesis of native metals and carbides with graphite and carbon matter. Describing new natural organometal compounds (ferrocene, silicoorganic compounds etc.). Describing new minerals (aluminum, cadmium, ferchromide, khamrabaevite, niobocarbide and others), new isomorphic rows and varieties, new polytypes (Ag- 4H, 2H, graphite 9R, 12R, 15R and others). Organizing geological expeditions and studying of gold and sulfide ores of numerous genetic types. Working in the area of typomorphism of minerals. Organizing commissions on prospecting mineralogy (Russian Mineralogical Society). Teaching undergraduates graduate and postdoctoral students.
