About me

I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Maryland, College Park, USA (2005), an MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, USA (2000), and a BS in Applied Mathematics and Physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia (1998).

I am currently an Iliad Fellow, focusing on applied mathematics for AI alignment. I am also the founder and lead of Quantum Physics Corner.

Previously, I worked as a research scientist at the University of Geneva, Switzerland (2024–2026); a Senior Lecturer in Physics at the University of Portsmouth, UK (2019–2024); a Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Northumbria University, UK (2012–2019); a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Germany (2011–2012); a postdoctoral researcher and Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol, UK (2007–2011); and a Humboldt Research Fellow at the University of Regensburg, Germany (2005–2007).
