Reunited with family and helping to develop Ukraine’s chemical industry

Our life changed radically over the past year, just as for all Ukrainians. The most important thing is that my family is back in Ukraine and we are now living together at home. I keep working at Enamine, and preparing for the viva for my PhD thesis that I was working on last February and put on hold.

The air raid sirens affect when I go to work. If they begin first thing in the morning, then I stay home. We sit under the stairs in the house with my son. When everything is over we restart work, and we need to work harder than ever before since we need to donate money to support the Ukrainian Armed forces and other charities.
