I was born on August 15, 1983 in the city of Gorlovka. I don't remember much of my childhood: just enormous willingness to learn to ride a bike and enormous unwillingness to go to the kindergarten in the morning.
My family consists of 4 people: my mom, my dad, my brother and I. My mom, Ferjeva Victoria Anatoljevna, has worked as nurse at the isolation department of the city hospital for 12 years. Now she is retired but still works as nurse at the mine 'Kalinina'. My dad, Ferjev Sergey Anatoljevich, works as engineman at the same mine. My younger brother is going to graduate from the industrial technical school.
The first school I went to was school N 62. As I was the first child in the family, my mom devoted herself to my upbringing, and when I went to school I already knew what they taught us. Years spent at that school were not as remarkable as at school N 28, where I was transferred at the end of the 6th grade. It was fun to study there, because we had a lot of competitions and contests, and very often I was a presenter. My hectic social life however didn't prevent me from finishing school well and entering the 'machine and automatic line material processing' department of Gorlovka machine-building college (GMC) by results of interview. My granfather, the sole certified production engineer in my family, helped me make this choice. While at GMC I actively participated in various contests and took prize-winning places. After graduating from GMC with honors I became a third year student at Donetsk National Technical University (DonNTU) with 'Technology of machine building' as a major.Life at university was busy as well - contests, conferences, 'days of science' held at our department and good study load left us no time to be bored.
In 2004 I got bachelor's degree with distinction and am going to write my master thesis on the subject of 'Efficiency improvement of ware processing by new abrasive disc constructions during face grinding'. I've chosen this subject because tool face grinding engineering has not been studied before and it ensures very good surface quality (roughness, flatness, corrugation) along with maximum productivity and long tool life.
My scientific adviser, Alexander Lvovich Ishchenko, studies assembly process automation based on rotary and conveyer lines.
I am willing to continue my work on this subject in postgraduate study.
