Bio

I’m a PhD student under the supervision of Peter Richtárik, working on Optimization and its applications to Machine Learning. Prior to this, I was a research intern at Université Grenoble Alpes, where I studied an algorithm for Distributed Optimization with F. Iutzeler and J. Malick. This internship allowed me to obtain my double degree MSc diploma from École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and Paris-Dauphine. I obtained my BSc from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, where I was having a lot of fun with quantum mechanics and various branches of classical and modern physics. My bachelor’s thesis, however, was devoted to statistical learning theory.

My hobbies include squash, bouldering and competitive programming.
