General information

Research

I am working on different problems of discrete geometry and combinatorics. My current research interests are parallelohedra theory (in particular, the Voronoi conjecture on parallelohedra), geometrical properties of quasiperiodic point sets (bounded distance and bilipschitz equivalence to a lattice), and measures equipartitions.

You can find some more structured information below, or in my CV.

Teaching

Currently (Spring 2024) I am teaching the following courses.

  • MATH 3352-90L Modern Geometry I;
  • MATH 7300-04 Thesis I;
  • MATH 7301-08 Thesis II.
