Elina Valentynivna Tereshchenko

Elina Valentynivna Tereshchenko serves as Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Systems Analysis and Computational Mathematics at Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University's Faculty of Computer Science and Technologies. Holding a Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences degree (equivalent to PhD), she graduated from Dnipropetrovsk State University in 1992 with specialization in 'automatics and control in technical systems'.

Her research spans discrete optimization, graph theory, and fuzzy logic systems, with recent publications focusing on ontology engineering, team formation algorithms, and agricultural data analysis. Current projects include ontology control systems in Neo4j (2025), competition-based team optimization models (2024), and sunflower cultivation ontologies for Ukrainian agricultural contexts.

Her 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveal strong interdisciplinary work connecting computer science with agricultural informatics, cybersecurity, and economic modeling. Key trends include graph-theoretic formulations for team formation, fuzzy logic applications in access control, and optimization under resource uncertainty.
