Welcome to my page!

I am a Ph.D. graduate of the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of California Riverside (UCR). I have successfully defended my dissertation on May 16, 2016.
After completion of my Ph.D. I accepted a job offer from Microsoft, Analysis & Experimentation Team, joining the company in July 2016.

My Ph.D. advisor was Dr. Eamonn Keogh and my research interests belonged to the area of Data Mining in Time Series and Multimedia Data.
Before pursuing Ph.D. I received a Specialist degree (equivalent of M.Sc. in Computer Science) from Samara State Aerospace University (now Samara University), Russia, in 2010.
