About
I am an Assistant Professor at Florida State University and a founder of BigLab!, where we do research in Scalable Data Science and Management, Web-scale Deep Learning, Mobile Health, and Machine Reading. Our recent projects are COVIDKG.ORG and AGINGGRAPH.ORG - Web-scale, trustworthy Knowledge Graphs on COVID-19 and Ageing, learned by our trained Deep-learning models comprehending millions of Web sources.

I earned my Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Washington working with Lucian Popa and Linda Shapiro. I did my Postdoc at Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) of MIT with the A.M. Turing Award recipient Michael Stonebraker. I completed my undergraduate education at St. Petersburg ITMO University (ACM-ICPC World Champions 7 times). Before that I graduated from Presidential Physics/Mathematics Lyceum #239.

I also spent some time working in industry to apply my research - At IBM Almaden Research Center on Data Integration (project Clio, productized as a part of IBM Infosphere); at Google on Web-search and Large-scale Machine Learning (productized as parts of SETI and Froogle); at Microsoft Research on Natural Language Processing (productized as a part of Bing!). My Erdös number is 3.
