Privet
\'Hello\' in informal relationship is, of course, \"Привет\" (privet [pree-VET] (emphasis on the second syllable).
But you do not want to say \'Privet\' to a person you hardly know (given the \'science\' category of the question). In this case, you may say \'zdaravstvuyte\'.
The same will be appropriate upon being introduced to someone; or else you can say \"Ochen\' priyatno\" (meaning \"Nice to meet you\").
