Research

I work in Geometric Analysis and Convex Geometry. My main concentrations at this moment are Monge-Ampére partial differential equations with convex geometric structures, so-called Minkowski-type Problems, and analytic-geometric inequalities associated with convex bodies. I am also interested in optimal transport reformulations of these topics. In the past, I did some research in Differential Geometry and Ergodic Theory.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Mathematics from New York University in May, 2023. At NYU I worked with Erwin Lutwak, Deane Yang and Gaoyong Zhang.

Here is a link to my CV. Last updated: 07/29/2024.

Non-math Activitiy

In 2021, I published a novel (in Russian). You can buy it here: Litres, Ozon, Google Play, Readli. Or you can freely download it from my Google Doc. You can also ask me for a physical copy. If you wish to translate it let me know.

I am also into Mountaineering and Kayaking.
