Moscow, Russia

I bring a diverse background in scientific research and integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), with 12 years of hands-on experience in software engineering and numerical modeling across the fields of solid mechanics, thermal physics, condensed matter physics, and multi-physical processes.

My primary focus is on ML applications for materials science and CAE/CAD development, specializing in structural optimization algorithms and technologies for creating composite materials for additive manufacturing, with applications in aerospace, civil engineering, and biomechanics.

As an expert in Digital Engineering (DE), I developed groundbreaking solutions for high-tech industries and industrial automation. One of my key achievements was creating an algorithm for rational and adaptively irregular reinforcement, known as Ariadne, for composite structures produced via 3D printing, in collaboration with Anisoprint and Bauman MSTU. My work also extended into the topological optimization of composite structures for Mighty Buildings, Inc. Additionally, I participated in the development of the geometric modeling kernel [RGK] and applied industrial automation systems — MES/SCADA utilizing ML/CV for a fully digitalized factory in Mexico. My fields of interest included digital shadows (digital footprints) and digital twins.

I also remotely supervise the DE Division at Thrasos 3D, SAPI de CV., an innovative OceanTech startup.

Currently, most of my time is dedicated to leading the AI/ML Division at Eurokappa, LLC., one of the largest MedTech companies specializing in orthodontic aligners.
