about

I did my postdoc at MIT (CSAIL) with Justin Solomon in Cambridge, MA. Before, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), working on various sketch-based modeling projects under supervision of Alla Sheffer. Before that (2004-2010) I did my Bachelor's and Master's (oh childhood!) at Mechanics & Mathematics Department of Novosibirsk State University (Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia) under supervision of Olga Nechaeva.

Research interests

Currently the top interest for me is sketching and whatever 3D we can create with it. I'm generally interested in geometry processing and computer graphics as a tool for creating true art.

Outside computer science

Outside the department, I'm an argentine tango dancer. I also occasionally play/compose/record music, mostly on guitar (blues, classics, tango, slowly moving towards jazz).
