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 interests lie broadly in the intersection of statistical network analysis and bioinformatics, mainly focusing on:

• Modeling shared and group latent structures in collections of networks with applications to neuroscience
• Modeling of information diffusion on networks with applications to epidemiology and influence maximization
• Cross-validation and model selection in network-assisted regression problems
• Deep learning for biomarker discovery from temporal, functional, network-linked, and/or hierarchically structured data.

Here is my CV.
