I am currently involved in doctoral supervision, researching the entrepreneurship area with focus on the characteristics of entrepreneurs from a behavioral approach (entrepreneur‟s attitudes, personality, values, motivation, entrepreneurial orientation, marketing orientation, etc) and how these are linked to performance both from the micro and macro aspects. Another area of my current research is to explore the relevance and usefulness of aptitude tests in the recruitment and selection of human resources. My research in the Knowledge Management area resulted in a presentation of a paper at the National University of Singapore under the aegis of the Commonwealth Secretariat and a co authored chapter in an international book published by Edward Elgar publications. My main future research plans include amongst others collecting research data with the aims of writing a case study book that could be used for teaching Strategic Management and Marketing and Entrepreneurship on Kazakhstan companies and those doing business in Kazakhstan.

Working at the Institute of Mathematics as applied mathematician, Lyailya dealt with analysis and diagnostics of nonlinear dynamical systems, investigating stochastic fields by fractal and integral geometry methods to explore radionuclide contamination of the former Semipalatinsk nuclear test site and Semipalatinsk and Karaganda regions. Currently, Lyailya deals with testing non-linear time series by means of fractal geometry, multifractal formalism, topological dynamics methods and using neural networks for their prediction. Using morphological image analysis, solar magnetic charts were analyzed and underlying dynamics of solar magnetic field was revealed. The other of recent projects investigates time series of Finland‟s temperature and Greenland‟s oxygen isotope records. The enhancement of Holder regularity has given possibility to estimate interrelation between climatic indicators on the time scale of about 8000 years.
