Mykola Gusti

Mykola Gusti joined the Forestry Program in April 2005 and is carrying out research on "Greenhouse Gas Cycling and Terrestrial Ecosystems" within the projects "Constraining and Handling of Uncertainties of Greenhouse Gas Fluxes" and "Global Terrestial GHG Management."

Dr. Gusti graduated from the Lviv Franko State University in 1996, where he completed his Diploma Thesis on Macromodels with Chebyshev approximation in the field of radiophysics. After graduation he worked as an engineer in the Department of Complex Dynamical Systems Modeling at the Research Institute of Information Infrastructure in Lviv, Ukraine. In 1997 he became a Ph.D. student at the same institute. He defended his Ph.D. dissertation on Modeling the Dynamics of the Carbon Budget of Ecosystems of the Carpathian Region in Ukraine in 2002. In support of his Ph.D. work, Mykola was granted a two-month fellowship by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Transport, which he spent at IIASA in the fall of 1999. In the summer of 2000, he was a participant in IIASA’s Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) affiliated with the Forestry Program, participating in the program’s carbon research related to the Kyoto Protocol. In 2001-2002 he worked at LSCE, France where he dealt with modeling the transport of trace gases using GCM LMDZ3.3. In 2002-2005 he returned to the Research Institute of Information Infrastructure in Lviv, Ukraine where he worked on the development of geoinformation technologies for greenhouse gas inventory and prognosis of the carbon budget in Ukraine.

Dr. Gusti's scientific interests are mathematical modeling and data processing applicable in environment research.
