Office Hours: By appointment

Education:

  • B.S., St. Petersburg St. Univ. (Russia), Physics
  • M.S., St. Petersburg St. Univ. (Russia), Physics
  • Ph.D., St. Petersburg St. Univ. (Russia), Mathematics

I originated from St. Petersburg, Russia. After my Ph.D. in 2003 (advisor: Professor M. Birman) I continued as a post-doc at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich. I moved to the United States in 2005 as visiting assistant professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison and finally started my work at UAB in 2007.

In teaching I prefer to create an “at home” environment. I tend to describe how problems and techniques we develop can be applied to different fields. That makes students more interested in the subject. I also practice team work, where students can more deeply understand the topic during peer-to-peer discussion.

I am involved into different high school activities like the Talent Search Days organized by our department. At the undergraduate level I mentor our fast-track students, providing additional individual material based on student's interest and of course my own research activities. I also serve as Ph.D. advisor for graduate students. In this way students obtain continuous training and a sense of what science is, which makes them much better prepared for their future career.

  • Research Interests

    My scientific interests are focused on both theoretical and applied mathematics. I lead joint research with departments of mathematics and engineering from University College London, Duke University, Chicago University, Rice University, Rowan University and many others. I closely collaborate with my colleagues from other areas, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, medicine, aero engineering, etc. This allows us to provide great opportunities for students to merge into scientific society while working in active areas of modern mathematics.
