Currently I'm an assistant professor of St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University, where I write my Ph.D. thesis in computer science, carry out investigations and projects, lead training courses for students. I've choosen my occupation in university because it's interesting for me: math, programming, circuit design and implementation, writing articles, participating on conferences.
Out of work I participate in kayaking club and play in symphonic metal band.
