[Present]
I am working in close collaboration with MIT Professor Patrick Winston (leader of the Genesis group) and Doctor Boris Katz (leader of the Infolab group) trying to embed an exhaustive narrative theory into the Genesis story understanding system.

[2012-2013]
As a volunteer at the Infolab CSAIL Group at MIT I worked with integrating IMDB to the Omnibase system and implementing comparison abilities of the START Natural Language Question-Answering System.

As a part of Pink Team I participated in designing and creating HERC - Hygienic Efficient Receptacle Cleaning - at MIT.
HERC assists in one of the most unpleasant tasks faced by maintenance workers: cleaning the insides of trash receptacles. These receptacles are usually cleaned manually, using a sprayer that often leaves workers soaked in filthy water. Instead, we devised an automated, self-contained system that cleans the containers much faster.
HERC is currently used by MIT facilities.

As my term project for Intelligent Multimodal Interfaces I studied the usage of various communication techniques during distant and face-to-face lecturing. The preliminary results showed that people who use more illustrative gestures while explaining material via Skype make it to explain the topic faster and their pupils have higher results when tested. Although people who prefer to point camera at the paper explain faster there is no positive correlation with test results. Surprisingly there is no dependency of results or speed on deictic gestures usage or pace of speech. This research justifies projects such as my classmate's Understudy.
This work is not published but is available upon request.

As an engineer at I-free I participated in developing and maintaining monitoring systems and techniques. This is an ongoing and theoretically endless process. As a part of it I created a list of instructions for emergency situations such as total failure of monitoring systems and a protocol of addressing emergency engineers.

[2010-2011]
I fully designed and delivered a one year course on complex systems for upperclassmen.
My lectures were focused on most modern and challenging aspects of computer and mathematical modelling. Apart from that we regarded the historical development and ethical aspects of the field. My lectures combined an overview with intensive programming practice, pursuing not only the informative goal but also preparing students for the entrance examination.
All of my students successfully entered different universities. What is particularly curious is that exactly half of them pursues degrees in science and the other half -- in humanities.

[2009-2010]
I completed a thesis dedicated to designing a multi-agent system to reflect the dynamic of the real financial market and made an exhaustive analysis of the resulting time series. In particular I was the first one ever to make a simulated financial with a property of multifractality without any artificial "spices" to produce it -- rather in my work multifractality emerges in a natural way.
I consider this to be a big deal and Zhang himself, who was the first one to introduce the Minority Game Model, recognized my work. This thesis resulted in the collaborated publication with my advisor.

[2008-2009]
I was an intern in OKTET Labs for half a year; I received an extensive training in C and secure Linux programming (acording to Wheeler). My practice there culminated in creating secure multi-threaded TCP/UDP server-client system.

[2007]
As a Student in Eastern-European Psychoanalysis University I completed a course work in which I attempted to find any relations between a classification of a person by accepted personality theories and his academic success and satisfaction with his achievements. This work is unpublished but, briefly, I did not find any relation (which is a relief because as recently as in times of Immanuel Kant there was a tendency to discriminate people of Choleric temperament).
