BSc in Applied Mathematics Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
Department of Control and Applied Mathematics
Thesis: Accelerated Directional Searchs and Gradient-Free Methods with non-Euclidean prox-structure
Advisor: Alexander Gasnikov
Recently I have defended my PhD thesis at MIPT. I will join the team of Gauthier Gidel at Université de Montréal and Mila as a postdoctoral researcher in Spring 2022.
Currently I am a junior researcher at MIPT and a research consultant at Mila. I obtained my PhD degree at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Phystech School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics where I worked under the supervision of professors Alexander Gasnikov and Peter Richtárik. My research interests include Stochastic Optimization and its applications to Machine Learning, Distributed Optimization, Derivative-Free Optimization, and Variational Inequalities. I am also a co-organizer of Russian Optimization Seminar and the research seminar on Optimization at MIPT.
Selected awards:
- The Ilya Segalovich Award 2019 (highly selective)
- Huawei scholarship for bachelor and master students at MIPT
