Serhii Dolhopolov - Ph.D. Student

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student and Assistant Lecturer at Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. My doctoral research, conducted under the supervision of Dr. Tetiana Honcharenko, focuses on «Information Technology for Modular Adaptive Generation of Program Code Based on Deep Learning Methods», where I am developing novel algorithms and frameworks to automate and optimize software development processes through AI techniques.

My work combines theoretical advancements in neural network architectures with practical applications in the fields of construction, urban planning, and information technology. I am currently leading a state-funded research project on multimodal content analysis for territorial revitalization, exploring how AI can contribute to sustainable urban development. My research aims to address complex challenges such as improving software development efficiency through intelligent code generation and enhancing decision-making processes in smart city initiatives through advanced data analytics.

I am passionate about bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical industrial applications, particularly in construction and urban technologies. Through my teaching and research, I strive to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and mentor the next generation of AI specialists who will shape the technological landscape of tomorrow.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring UI/UX design and creating pixel art. In my downtime, you'll likely find me watching thrillers and horror films—a perfect balance to the analytical nature of my research work.
