Biography

I have received a Diploma (2003) in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics at the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics (mech-mat), Moscow State University, Russia. Later I obtained my PhD in 2010 in Applied Mathematics at Brown University, US, where I worked with Prof David Mumford. In 2010-2012 I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Computational Functional Anatomy Lab, Department of Bioengineering, National University of Singapore.
