I was born in Russia, in the snowy city called Khabarovsk. After I completed my bachelor studies in biophysics in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, I went to the master program in Computational Biology in ETH, Switzerland. While there, I became interested in neuroscience, and afterwards I started my PhD in experimental neuroscience in the Keller lab in Basel, which studies predictive processing and antipsychotics. Currently I am on the 4th year of my PhD. Scientifically, I am interested in understanding how psychedelics work, how motor learning is happening and how the brain predicts the future. Nonscientifically I am into squash and lindy hop, so if you are also interested in those, hit me up!
