My primary research goals are directed towards understanding the astrochemistry of comets and their atmospheres’ chemical composition, using contemporary observation and data reduction techniques. As an astronomer at IA and NAO, I have over 25 years of experience in the field of small bodies in the Solar System investigations, especially comets (I started working in the Sun and Solar System Department while I was still a university student). I have observational experience in almost all techniques in the UV and visual wavelength range, namely narrowband photometry (dust, neutral coma, ion tails), spectroscopy (low and high resolution) and polarimetry. My background in data reduction is based on a variety of astronomical software (IDL, IRAF, PyRAF, Python, GILDAS, CASA, etc.), not only using their integrated routines, but also using ones prepared by myself for some special cases and not only. My scientific research results are presented in more than 100 papers in astronomical journals, conference proceedings, telegrams and circulars.

I finished my master's degree in Astronomy and astrophysics at the Department of Astronomy, Faculty of Physics, Sofia University, by defending my master's thesis, entitled "Comets 19P/Borrelly and C/LINEAR (1999 S4): dust properties determined from observations in the optical continuum", in July 2002 under the supervision of Prof. Tanyu Bonev from IA and NAO, BAS.

My PhD thesis, entitled "Physical properties of dust in cometary atmospheres", was a continuation of my work with Prof. Tanyu Bonev and was successfully defended in December 2009.

I was a postdoc twice in a row (April 2015 - April 2018 - April 2021) at Armagh Observatory with a line manager, Dr Apostolos Christou, working on Mars Trojan and Earth co-orbital asteroids. Now I'm entitled to be a Visiting astronomer there.

On 21 June 2023, the asteroid (28975) Galinborisov = 2001 KR69 was named after me for merit during the Asteroids, Comets, Meteors (ACM) Conference in Flagstaff, Arizona!
