PAVLOVA Aleksandra S. is a senior research assistant of the Laboratory of Vestibular Physiology at the SSC RF — IBMP RAS.
Pavlova A.S. was born in 1988 in Moscow, in 2011 she graduated from the department of photonics and microwave physics of physics faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University with specialization in “physics”. In Laboratory of Vestibular Physiology at the SSC RF — IBMP RAS she works since 2011 under the leadership of Dr.Med.Sci., Prof. Kornilova L.N. Also, since 2011 Pavlova A.S. is a postgraduate student in the laboratory of spectroscopy of nanomaterials at the A.M. Prokhorov General Physics Institute of the Russian academy of sciences.
The main scientific interest of Pavlova A.S. at the SSC RF — IBMP RAS is processing and analysis of experimental electro- and videooculographic data with evaluation of parameters of vestibular-ocular reactions — detection of nystagmus and its analysis, evaluation of compensatory ocular counter-rolling caused by head tilts (vestibular-ocular reflex, static torsional otolith-cervical-ocular (OCOR) and otolith-ocular reflex).
In 2011-2012 she actively participated in the preparation of a literature review and medical-technical requirements for the development 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.
While working in the laboratory Pavlova A.S. carried out processing and analysis of results of pre- and postflight examinations of cosmonauts, model experiments, conducted a series of experiments to study the effects of fixation on the OCOR with a subsequent processing and analysis of the results obtained. Under the direct supervision of Kornilova L.N., Pavlova A.S. repeatedly participated in various medical and biological experiments conducted by the Institute in Moscow and in the GCTC in Star City, together with colleagues from the laboratory and with belgian colleagues from the Antwerp University Research Centre for Equilibrium and Aerospace (AUREA).
Pavlova A.S. is fluent in English and French, she has 3 publicationsand and has participated in many international symposia and conferences with presentations on the results of scientific experiments conducted by our laboratory.
