About
V. Grebenyuk is a leading figure in astroparticle physics, specializing in the development and operation of cutting-edge ground-based gamma-ray observatories. Their primary research focuses on the TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) experiment, particularly the HiSCORE (High Sensitivity COsmic Ray and gamma-ray Explorer) component. Grebenyuk’s major contribution lies in pioneering novel detection techniques for ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and gamma rays, including the first-ever ground-based detection of a fast-moving point source—the CATS-LIDAR aboard the International Space Station—using the TAIGA-HiSCORE facility. This landmark 2017 study (7 citations) demonstrated the facility’s ability to detect unscattered laser light from the ISS at kilometer-scale distances, validating a new method for calibrating and characterizing large-area Cherenkov detectors. Their work has significantly advanced the field’s understanding of atmospheric monitoring and transient event detection. Grebenyuk also collaborates with the MASTER-Tunka Robotic telescope network, integrating optical and Cherenkov observations. With a career spanning decades, they have helped establish the Tunka Valley as a world-class site for cosmic-ray research, and their innovations continue to shape the design of next-generation gamma-ray observatories.
