Academic Achievements
- He has published numerous papers available on Google Scholar, MathSciNet, ZbMath, and arXiv. He is the author of the book 'Lectures on Discrete and Polyhedral Geometry'. He has organized several seminars, including the UCLA Combinatorics Seminar and the Los Angeles Combinatorics and Complexity Seminar.
Research Experience
- He has worked as a Gibbs Instructor at Yale University with László Lovász (currently at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary) and as an NSF postdoc at MIT with Richard Stanley (still at MIT but also at the University of Miami). He has also held positions at the University of Minnesota and MIT.
Education
- He received his undergraduate degree from Moscow State University and his Ph.D. from Harvard University, where his advisor was Persi Diaconis (currently at Stanford). His undergraduate advisor was Alexandre Kirillov (now at UPenn).
Background
- A Professor at the Mathematics Department at UCLA and a member of the Combinatorics Group. His research interests include Discrete and Polyhedral Geometry, Enumerative and Algebraic Combinatorics, Probability, and Computations on Groups.
Miscellany
- He maintains a blog and a YouTube channel with talk videos. He has a page dedicated to Catalan Numbers and a 'What is Combinatorics?' quotation page, along with a companion 'Just combinatorics' quotation page. He has also created a collection of Combinatorics videos.
