About

Alexey Zakharov’s research bridges two distinct fields: drug metabolism and robotics. In pharmaceutical science, he developed a high-throughput metabolic stability assay that integrates high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry with automated data analysis software. This work, published in 2016 and cited 59 times, provides a rapid, reliable method for screening drug candidates, significantly accelerating early-stage drug discovery. In robotics, Zakharov contributed to component-based system development, proposing a reuse-oriented process that enables modular and efficient design of robotic systems. His 2012 paper on this topic has garnered 35 citations, reflecting its influence on software engineering practices in robotics. Additionally, Zakharov created a Modelica model for the youBot manipulator, a notable achievement that allows detailed simulation of manipulator controllers and motors—a capability often missing in conventional robotic simulations. This model, presented in 2014, enables more accurate virtual prototyping and control system design. Through these contributions, Zakharov has demonstrated versatility, applying computational and systems-thinking approaches to advance both pharmaceutical analysis and robotic development.
