Main research interests as PhD student and postdoc were:
- picosecond dynamics of luminescence spectra in II-VI semiconductors;
- experimental methods of measurements of time-resolved luminescence spectra with picosecond time resolution;
- CW-dye lasers;
- experimental methods of modulational spectroscopy for measurements of nonlinear refractive index in semiconductor thing films;
- pi optical bistability and multistability;
- self-oscillations in systems of coupled resonators;
- fluctuations in nonlinear optical systems.
Main current research interests are:
- fluctuations and critical phenomena in nonlinear dynamical systems;
- classical mechanics and thermodynamics of Brownian motion in nonequilibrium systems;
- methods of experimental investigations of generalised nonequilibrium potential;
- experimental methods of investigations of time symmetry and detailed balance in stochastical dynamical systems;
- thermodynamics, spatial and time symmetry of ratchets;
- WKB approximation of the Fokker-Plank equation;
- topology of Lagrangian manifold and action surface of Hamiltonian dynamics underlying fluctuations in
- nonequilibrium systems;
- singularities in the pattern of optimal paths;
- classical mechanical interpretation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics;
- problem of control of fluctuations.

The emphasis has been on experimental and numerical approaches to these problems.
