SOIL BIOENGINEERING: ADVANCED METHODS FOR DIAGNOSTICS, MONITORING, AND RESTORATION OF SOIL ECOSYSTEMS
The project is aimed at establishing the scientific foundations of a new interdisciplinary field – soil bioengineering – which integrates soil science, biogeochemistry, microbiology, nanotechnologies, synchrotron diagnostics, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence. The central idea of the project is to shift from merely documenting soil degradation towards controlled restoration of soil structure, biogeochemical cycles, fertility, and ecological functions through the integration of functional microbiomes and novel nature-like materials.
Tatyana Minkina is a specialist in the field of agro-biotechnology.
Tatyana Minkina has developed theoretical and applied foundations for the diagnostics, assessment, and restoration of soil fertility under agro-technogenic impacts.

Development of the scientific foundations for the design and structural engineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and mixed-matrix membranes based on them, using artificial intelligence technologies and in situ and operando synchrotron diagnostic methods. The approach is aimed at establishing quantitative structure–function correlations between the topology of the porous framework, the morphology of the polymer–MOF composite, and the transport/selectivity characteristics of the membranes, enabling a transition from empirical to predictive (reverse-engineering-based) design of next-generation materials for gas separation, water purification, and membrane catalysis.
