About

I'm a PhD candidate in the UW Paul Allen Center of Computer Science and Engineering. Broadly speaking I'm interested in Databases, Large-scale data management, and Search. Before coming to Seattle I received my B.Sc. from St. Petersburg State University of IT, Mechanics, and Optics (ACM World Champions, 2004, 08, 09).

Recent research projects

  • UFOs: During my internship at Almaden and hereafter I worked on design of a new modular data management and integration paradigm.
  • TextDB: A new text database management system that is capable to automatically extract schema from text and process structural queries.
  • GCET: During my internship at Google I worked on a highly scalable (hundreds of nodes) distributed machine learning infrastructure.
  • ULDisk: A new user-level (not in kernel-mode) driver for UNIX block-devices. Applied as a P2P distributed virutal RAM disk (a graduate systems course project with Ed Lazowska, Steve Gribble).
  • SPAMDB: A new approach to SPAM filtering based on splitting the training corpus for SPAM classification by certain user groups (a graduate networks course project with David Wetherall).

Selected Awards

  • Winner of Russian national physics contest, 1995
  • Clarendon Fund Full Felowship for 3 years, Oxford University, United Kingdom, 2003, declined
  • George Soros national award for research excellence, 1996, 1998
