About me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Hasselt, Belgium, supervised by Prof. Michel Van den Bergh.

My main research interests centre around derived categories and, more generally, homological methods in (non-commutative) algebraic geometry and representation theory. I also sometimes think about differential geometry.

I am Russian, born in Saint Petersburg.
