Biography

Senior Data Scientist at IAG with current interests in computer vision, natural language processing and advanced analytics on data in its native form, as enabled by recent advances in machine learning, deep learning, cloud computing etc.

In 2013, I have earned a PhD in Business Statistics and Econometrics from Monash University, Australia. By then, I had already had an MBA from the UK (thanks to the scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation to study overseas) and my first university degree from Russia.

My PhD thesis, entitled Statistical issues in modelling and forecasting sequential count data, was examined by professors James Taylor of Oxford University (UK) and William Dunsmuir of UNSW (Australia).

I’ve also learned a lot from my past teaching experience:

• Contingencies in Insurance and Pensions (ETC3530)
• Actuarial Statistics (ETC2430)
• Probability and Statistical Inference (ETC2520)
• Business Statistics (ETC1000)
