About Me

Hi! My name is Alex, I am a 5th year PhD student in Statistics at the University of Michigan, co-advised by Liza Levina and Ji Zhu. Previously, I did my undergrads in Mathematics at Higher School of Economics and masters in Computer Science at Skoltech, both in Moscow, Russia.

My research lies broadly in statistical network analysis and is largely motivated by biomedical applications, mainly focusing on:

• Modeling shared and group latent structures in collections of networks with applications to neuroscience
• Developing universal statistically-grounded frameworks for information diffusion models on networks
• Developing general cross-validation and model selection methods for network- assisted regression
• Building feature selection frameworks in complex scenarios involving network-linked, temporal, functional, and/or hierarchically structured data

Here is my CV.
