Bio

Welcome to my personal website. I earned my specialist degree with honors in applied mathematics and computer science from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, in 2007. In 2013, I obtained my PhD in computer science with cum laude distinction under the supervision of Professor Toon Calders and Professor Paul De Bra at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the Netherlands. My recent research focuses on AI for science, including the development of foundational models for scientific data such as molecules, proteins, and crystals.
