Yevhen graduated from the National Pedagogical Dragomanov University with a degree in Cultural Studies. In 2018, he defended his thesis titled "Visual Strategies of Contemporary Screen Culture: Philosophical and Anthropological Aspects," and obtained a PhD (Candidate of Sciences). From 2017 to 2025, he worked at the National Pedagogical Dragomanov University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophical Anthropology, Philosophy of Culture and Cultural Studies. He currently holds the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Information Communications at the Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University. His research interests encompass a range of issues within the fields of Digital Humanities, Audiovisual Studies, and Cultural Studies.
In 2020–2021, he was a recipient of the Polish Government Scholarship for Young Scientists. During this period, he carried out the research project The Audiovisual Essay: A New Academic Form of Scientific Expression at the Faculty of Anthropology and Cultural Studies, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland). Since 2022, under the Documenting Ukraine grant from the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM, Vienna, Austria), he has been conducting the study Life During the War: An Audiovisual Experience.
During his residency at the Center for Urban History as part of the LivArch scholarship for documenting and archiving the war, he will continue his research on Telegram chats of Ukrainian cities as spaces of collective experience on the first day of the full-scale invasion, which began as part of the Data Sprint "War Sensing through the Telegram Archive of the War" (September 2025). The project aims to analyze urban Telegram chats from various regions of Ukraine to reconstruct an hourly "visualization" of the events of February 24, 2022, identify regional communication patterns, and develop a tested methodology for analyzing digital archives based on data from the Telegram War Archive.
