Biography

Born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia, I attended Saint Petersburg State University, where I have developed a strong interest in polar geophysical research. I continued my academic career at the University of Texas at Austin as a Fulbright scholar, where I applied marine geophysical techniques to study the history of past glaciations preserved within continental margins of Alaska and East Antarctica. I find studying complex interactions between ice, ocean, climate and tectonics on different temporal and spatial scales to be fascinating. More importantly, these studies hold the key to a better understanding of the long-term history of the global climate. At Cambridge, I hope to continue exploring polar regions in order to better understand the past of the cryosphere with implications for better projecting its future.
