I am Assistant Professor in Statistics with the School of Mathematical Sciences at Dublin City University, Ireland. I am also Funded Investigator with the ADAPT Research Centre, Ireland.

IEEE Senior Member; since 2020 I am Associate Editor with IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters.

I have been general chair of the 2021 Irish Machine Vision and Image Processing conference IMVIP 2021 hosted at Dublin City University.

I am currently involved as scientific advisor and co-founder in AiMapIt that proposes a solution for Automatic Detection and Geotagging of Stationary Objects from Street Level Imagery:

Prior to this, I have obtained the “specialist” (M.Sc.) degree in applied mathematics and computer science, and the “candidate of physical and mathematical sciences” (Ph.D.) degree in statistics both from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, in 2007 and 2011, respectively. In 2011-2012 I have been postdoctoral fellow at the ARIANA / AYIN research group at the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), Sophia Antipolis, France. In 2012-2013 I have worked as research associate at the Dept. of Statistical Science, University College London in London, UK. In 2014-2016 I have been research fellow at the Image Processing and Pattern Recognition for Remote Sensing (IPRS) lab, Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Telecommunications Engineering and Naval Architecture (DITEN), University of Genoa, Italy. In 2017-2019 I have been senior research fellow with the School of Computer Science and Statistics and the ADAPT Centre in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, where I held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND EDGE Fellowship [my project].
