GLUKHIKH Dmitry O. was born in January 20, 1988 in the city of Kalinin. In 2005, after graduating from high school, he entered in the Tver State Technical University on specialty “Biomedical devices and systems.” In 2009, he defended a qualifying work with awarding bachelor degree of engineering and technology in “Biomedical Engineering”. In the same year, he entered in the magistracy, which graduated with honors in 2011 with a master’s degree of engineering and technology in “Biomedical Engineering”. In the same year he also received a diploma of additional higher education: “High school teacher.” While studying in magistracy (2009 – 2011 years) he worked as an engineer for repair and maintenance of medical equipment in the LLC “Tver Medical Equipment.”
In March 2011, he went to work in the laboratory of Vestibular Physiology, department of Sensorimotor Physiology and Prophylaxis at the SSC RF – IBMP RAS, where he works now as a junior researcher. In October 2011, after successfully passing the entrance exam, he entered in postgraduate school of the SSC RF – IBMP RAS on specialty “Aviation, space and sea medicine.” He participates in all areas of the laboratory work: examine patients with complaints of vertigo, dizziness and equilibrium disturbances; cosmonauts in prolonged missions to the International Space Station within the cientific experiments “SENSORY ADAPTATION-2″, “GazeSPIN”, “VIRTUAL” and clinical-physiological checkups of cosmonauts (“ASSESSMENT OF THE VESTIBULAR FUNCTION”).
Glukhikh D.O. actively participated in the development and creation of the stochastic and galvanic vestibular stimulator, created in a close collaboration with the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation. This stimulator is widely used in studies of Department of Sensorimotor Physiology and Prophylaxis, part of which is our laboratory.
He is currently working on PhD thesis “Visual-manual tracking in a real and simulated weightlessness.” Specified area of research is a new and promising for the development of effective methods of examination/assessment and prognosis of maintaining the stability of the operator’s activity in long-term spaceflights, and after its completion. The main aim of the work is to study the effects of a pure weightlessness and its model conditions (immersion), simulating the physiological effects of weightlessness, on the nature and mechanism of the interaction of the oculomotor system and visually-mediated motor system of hands.
Glukhikh D.O. actively participates in model experiments (dry immersion, bedrest), he has more than six publications on the subject of the dissertation/thesis in refereed journals and few oral speeches at Russian and international conferences.
