Maxim Beketov

I got my BSc and MSc in Physics & Mathematics from MIPT and Skoltech, with a specialisation in theoretical/computational physics (integrable and chaotic quantum systems, to be certain). Upon graduation I temporarily left academia, working as a data scientist for App in the Air (ask me about recommender systems) for a year, as well as teaching 10-11th grades IB DP Mathematics (passionate about teaching). I then realized that what interests me most is geometry & topology, so I worked as a Python developer for an architectural startup Archeads Inc., doing some computational geometry for procedural floor plan generation; and also joined a wonderful laboratory of Algebraic Topology and its Applications at the CS department of Higher School of Economics, where I'm now a PhD student researching topological data analysis and its applications in machine learning.
