About me

I am a postdoc (Project Researcher) at Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU), the University of Tokyo. Before this I was incredibly fortunate to work on my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Michel Van den Bergh at Hasselt University, Belgium.

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

I am Russian, born in Saint Petersburg.
