Main scientific results and peer-reviewed publications:

Novel results in hydrodynamics of multicomponent quantum fluids are obtained, in particular, a new method of generation of quantum turbulence in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in ultracold gas by the Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities is proposed.
The collective modes of the inner crust of neutron stars are calculated using several equations of state of nuclear matter at densities higher than the neutron drip density.
A novel structural instability caused by the superfluid dripped neutrons is found in the lattice of the inner crust of neutron stars, with important implications for modelling of seismology of neutron stars and the quasi-periodic oscillations in astrophysical x-ray bursts.
A renormalization method for the effective field theoretical description of the quantum vortex structure in strongly correlated superfluids and superconductors, as well as for description of the plasma dissipation in the core of neutron stars, is developed.
