About

I am a data scientist residing in North Carolina. I build probabilistic forecasts for electricity markets. Before that I did my PhD at North Carolina State University forecasting hypoxia and algal blooms across the coastal US, and I still use the same toolkit: process-based models, hierarchical regression and Bayesian inference, mostly in Python, R and Stan.

I grew up in Russia, earned a bachelor's from MISIS (Moscow) and a master's at TU Dresden, spent a year as an exchange student in Japan, and moved to the US for a PhD at NCSU (Raleigh).

Outside work I play indoor and outdoor soccer, hockey, and travel when I can. Some old travel notes, in Russian.
