Short biography:

Born at 2nd of May, 1981. In 1998 entered the Tomsk Polytechnic University, Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering Department. Bachelor of Technique and Technologies (2002) and Master of Technique and Technologies (2004). Since September, 2006 I am working as assistant professor at the Tomsk Polytechnic University. I'm also a part-time assistant professor at the Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics.


Research Interests:

  • Evolutionary Computation
  • Neuroevolutionary Algorithms
  • Machine Learning
  • Self-Organization and Complexity
  • Image Processing

    My major scientific curiosity questions are about emergence of complexity and evolution of complex forms and interactions through adaptation.
