UPDATE: I since March 2019 I have been working in the Large-Scale Data and Systems Group of Imperial College London as a PostDoc. You can find up-to-date information and my latest publications here.

Research

I received Engineering degree in the Cybernetic department of National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (former Moscow Engineering Physics Institute). Also, I received Masters degree in the institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (ISSEK) of High School of Economics (HSE). I obtained a Dr.Eng. in IBR from TU Braunschweig in 2019.

My specialization -- operation systems. Before joining the group I participated in various RnD projects, from the startups to big corporation, from the small embedded systems up to the high-speed network SoCs. Last 6 years before joining the group I headed the RnD company "ksys labs", involved in research and development of microkernel systems.
