Short Biography
I am a mathematician. My present scientific interests include Discrete and Convex Geometry, Extremal Combinatorics. In 2013 I've defended my PhD at Moscow State University under the supervision of Yuri Valentinovich Nesterenko. From October of 2015 until September of 2017 I have been a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Technion (host: Rom Pinchasi). Currently I am a Senior Research Fellow at MIPT.
