I'm a senior researcher at Yandex Research studying optimization algorithms. Before joining Yandex I did a postdoc at the Université catholique de Louvain with Yurii Nesterov. I received my PhD in Computer Science at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, where I worked in the Visual Computing Center under the supervision of Peter Richtárik. Prior to that I got my BS degree in Applied Mathematics and Physics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology under the supervision of Alexander Gasnikov.
