EDUCATION
PhD in Computing and Electrical Engineering
Tampere University, Finland
2020 - Present
End-to-end performance evaluation and optimization of 5G mmWave networks. Development of optimization algorithms for IAB-based wireless systems.
Master's Degree with Honors in Communication Systems and Networks
Tampere University, Finland
2017 - 2019
The Master's degree involved studies on wired and wireless multi-service communication systems as well as the 5G and beyond 5G cellular networks. The main focus of the study was on radio access systems and networking levels. The physical layer of digital communication techniques and system-level RF aspects also fell within the scope of the program.
Bachelor's Degree with Honors in Radio Engineering
Peter The Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Russia
2013 - 2017
The Bachelor's Degree covered most of the basic engineering classes including Mathematical Analysis, Physics, Programming as well as field-specific subjects, such as FPGA and Microprocessors, Communication Theory, Electromagnetic Fields and Waves, and Ultra-high Frequency Devices and Antennas.
