Dr Vladimir – Founder & Lead Scientific Investigator
Dr Vladimir (Vlad) holds a BSc in Neurophysiology and a PhD in Biomedical Imaging. His research interests focus on the scientific investigation of hauntings and other paranormal phenomena, particularly experiences that may suggest the persistence or survival of consciousness.
His work centres on two primary areas. The first is the instrumentation used to detect anomalous events, including evaluating what investigative devices are measuring and examining the potential significance of activity detected across different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The second is the theoretical study of paranormal phenomena, exploring the environmental and possible psychological conditions under which such experiences may manifest.
Dr Vladimir is a former president of the Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research (AIPR) and has been involved in the field of parapsychological investigation and research for many years.
He is also APRA’s resident equipment developer and has designed several custom research tools used in field investigations, including temperature and humidity data-logging sensors and software, as well as an ion detection system.
APRA Inc strives to assist individuals and the general community on the topic of parapsychological phenomena through scientific research and education. APRA aims to advance the understanding of these phenomena through active research and collaborative efforts with like-minded individuals and organizations.
APRA Inc is a not-for-profit organisation which focuses on Scientific Research, Public Education and Community Assistance regarding phenomena that people assume to be paranormal.
APRA Inc offers numerous avenues of education ranging from public lectures through to one day seminars. We provide support to members of the community that believe they are experiencing some sort of paranormal phenomena. By helping individuals understand what the phenomena are and possibly how they operate, we can help ease fear through understanding. In order to best service the community through education and assistance, APRA also invests much of its time and resources to its third core focus area – that of active Research.
