Our research team consists of two clusters, one of them is based on Institute of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and other is working in Volgograd State University (Volgograd). The mainstream of our research activities is in the area of Tunneling Processes in Condensed Matter and Chemical Physics. Now we develop the Theory of Tunneling Transfer of Electrons and Heavy Particles especially in applications to Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. Our recent most important accomplishments seem to be the elaboration of many-electron approach in state-of-the-art surface electronic structure calculations and application of this ideology to promote the theoretical basis of surface characterization by STM. All of these advances rely heavily on extensive usage of computer simulations. Now we are very much interested in reinforcement of our programs in Theoretical and Computational Surface Science via participation in international collaborative research activities. Moreover, we have heard about the great action undertaken by NAS/NRC & NSF in the frame of COLLABORATION IN BASIC SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (COBASE) PROGRAM to support these collaborative activities. We would be very glad to start to work with our colleagues not only in the theoretical area but also with experimental groups, because it would be quite favorable for us to combine our theoretical advances with the goals and needs of experimentalists. We would welcome any idea and suggestions from interested groups as well as individuals. Please contact us: --Ivan I. Oleinik (team leader in Volgograd): olen@math.vgu.tsaritsyn.su --Mortko A.
