N. A. Dubrova is a member of the All-Russian Public Organization Russian Union of Mine Surveyors, Associate Professor at the Construction of Buildings, Underground Structures and Geomechanics Department of the Donetsk State Technical University, FSBEI of HPE, specialist in the sphere of geoinformation systems and technologies, geomechanics and geofiltration. The main areas of her scientific activity are related to the research into the rock mass filtration properties, rock mass filtration heterogeneity in different mining operations influence zones, mass transfer processes under the multiple undermined conditions, the impact of flooding on the parameters of triggering the soil surface displacement and deformation process, and also the prevention of negative consequences of the mining enterprises liquidation by way of the "wet" closure approach, geodynamic monitoring of the soil surface displacement and deformation process triggered in the result of flooding.
General information
14 people are working at the Department for the Issues of Geomechanics of the Fluid-Saturated Rock Masses. 71% of the department's employees are young people under 39 years of age. The average age of the employees is 36.
Among the department's employees there are four Candidates of Engineering Science, three postgraduate students and two students.
