I found out about Skoltech shortly before the admission deadline. At that time I was working as the engineer of strength calculations, built models of elements of rocket systems in Ansys, and made conclusions about the reliability of parts of systems. I had worked there for about 1 year but wanted to change my direction and gain experience in tasks of artificial intelligence. The opportunity to make an individual plan of study at Skoltech seemed especially attractive and I decided to try to enter. I didn't regret it for a second!

My first education was the specialist program in BMSTU. I graduated from the Mechanical engineering major and I decided to enroll in the Engineering Systems program at Skoltech. I would say I was lucky to get in, because I met a lot of talented and strong students during the selection stage. Needless to say, it was quite a challenging selection process.

For the next two years, I was a student of Assistant Professor Tatiana Podladchikova at the Skoltech Space Center. Eventually, we created a really good project about solar activity.

At the moment, I work on virtual flow metering in smart wells to optimize its production. Despite the decent performed experience in this topic, the problem is hot and experts are very valuable.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our office has been working remotely, but immune employees are able to return to the office. Meetings with my manager and research group are via video call. The level of technology development and management of Schlumberger is very high and allows you to get support and feedback throughout the entire workday.

Thanks to Skoltech, I actively use the skills in machine learning and deep learning in my work, as well as my experience in crafting high-quality presentations and knowledge of English.
