Personal Info

I received PhD in 2019 from Pennsylvania State University, Eberly College of Science, Department of Mathematics. My main areas of interests are: mathematical modeling in biology, physics and engineering.

I was born in 1989 and grew up in Minsk, which is the capital of the republic of Belarus. I got seriously interested in maths at the age of 12, when started to participate in competitions in mathematics and physics. I also attended programming classes at Belarusian State University (BSU) from 6th to 9th grade.

After graduating from middle school, I successfully passed the exams and became a student of the mathematics class at the Lyceum of BSU, the best high school in the country.

At the mathematics entrance exam to BSU I got the highest grade possible (only 7 out of 500 candidates managed to get this grade), and received full scholarship to study at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.

In Fall 2012 I was accepted to a PhD program in Mathematics at Penn State University.
