researching

Working on convergence guarantees for neural ODEs. Currently stuck on a particularly stubborn lemma involving Gronwall-type inequalities in non-Lipschitz settings. Also exploring connections between optimal transport and generalization bounds.

reading

Functional Analysis by Brezis (always on the desk). For leisure: The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov — rereading for the fourth time and still finding new layers.

building

This website, from scratch. Also experimenting with interactive visualizations for my research papers — the goal is to make the math tangible and playable.

living

Trying to ski as much as possible before the season ends. Morning gym routine is becoming a habit. Perfecting my pour-over technique — currently obsessed with Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.

playing

Chess puzzles on Lichess (rating hovering around 1800). Occasionally losing myself in Factorio — the optimization parallels with my research are uncomfortably real.

Санкт-Петербург

A city of white nights, bridges rising over the Neva, and the quiet beauty that shaped a part of who I am.
