08.2013–12.2013
Applied Logistics
Best Stock for Branching Supply Chain
A subroutine for performing parameter estimation of Weibull distribution and Kolmogorov–
Smirnov goodness-of-fit test, part of a larger project.
Finds best stock for a geographically distributed supply chain in the sense of providing
minimal cost while keeping the overall availability ratio above a pre-defined value.
Microsoft
Visual C++ 9.0
Borland Delphi
Scheduling of Aircraft Maintenance Jobs
04.2013–05.2013
Applied Logistics
A computer adaption of Petrov & Tomich’s paper1: a maintenance scheduling problem is
considered as a constrained optimization problem with respect to service intervals. I
implemented the numerical solution of this optimization problem.

RoboCV
Autonomous Navigation System
ROS/C++
Linux Ubuntu
I was in the team of software developers of an autonomous navigation system for robotic
platforms. We combined data from gyroscope, odometer, accelerometer and infrared
camera to get a better approximation for the position of the robot. I also made a significant
contribution to the company’s Technical Report for the first stage of the investment.
Selected Teaching Experience
Spring 2015
R Programming
We covered the R programming language from scratch. In order to learn R’s capabilities, we
worked with real-life Kaggle.com’s data sets PAKDD2014 and Otto Group Product
Classification.
Spring 2010
Bioinformatics Algorithms
We followed Jones & Pevzner’s book An Introduction to Bioinformatics Algorithms.
Fall 2009,

Information Retrieval
We covered common methods of Information Retrieval. As the course was designed for
hardcore math students, we emphasized the connection between state-of-the-art IR methods
and fundamental mathematics providing theoretical ground to these methods, such as Eckart–
Young theorem for Latent Semantic Analysis, theory of Markov chains for PageRank and KKT
for Support Vector Machines.
