Research interests

I am a physicist engaged in both theoretical and experimental research. I have just started working as an associate professor at the Zhubanov Regional University in Aktobe, Kazakhstan, on a campus coordinated jointly with Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. I recently worked briefly as a research mathematician at Ramax Group, a Russian software development company. Previously, I worked as a professor at the Tyumen State University, in Tyumen, Russian Federation where I conducted research on image segmentation using deep learning models applied to microscopic images for various projects in biology and geology. I have also taught mathematics, information technology, Python programming, and machine learning to undergraduate students.
In the past, I have worked on several projects related to quantum information processing (quantum cryptography), quantum optics and deep learning, in academic groups in Europe and North America, within departments of Computer Science and Physics.
I have been postdoctoral fellow in the Nonlinear Photonics Group, at the Centre Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications, part of the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), in Montreal, Canada. I have lead a project aimed at the realization of a quantum key distribution system, in collaboration with prof. Louis Salvail, from the Laboratoir d'Informatique Théorique et Quantique, at Université de Montréal.
I have also been involved in other projects related to quantum optics, non-linear processes and single photon generation, that have lead to the generation of four-photons entangled quantum state.
During a previous post-doctoral fellowship, at Univesrsité de Montréal, in the Laboratoir d'Informatique Théorique et Quantique , I have worked with Gilles Brassard at an extension of the complexity analysis of quantum algorithms beyond the query complexity model.
During that period I also had the opportunity to attend the lectures of Patrick Hayden on Quantum Information Theory, while he was at the McGill University in Montreal, and to attend the meetings of his group as a guest. His work has attracted my attention toward the applications of Quantum Information Theory to studies in other fields of theoretical physics, such as the Black Holes Information Paradox, and the Renormalization Group Information Flow.
In the previous post-doctoral internship at the École normale Superiéure de Cachan, in the LPQM group I have conducted experiments on free-space Quantum Key Distribution, and I have started to work as theoretician. Douring this period I have consolidated my knowledge of Information Theory. Formalising and solving practical aspects of Quantum Key Distribution protocols has helped me to clarify some deeper aspects of Quantum Mechanics.
Douring my DPhil (PhD) project at the University of Oxford, in the Photonic Nanomatirials Group I have developed more insights about the experimental and theoretical aspects of Quantum Information Processing, working with the NV colour defect in diamond.
I have done my undergraduate studies in Università di Napoli "Federico II". Starting with my graduation thesis project, I have worked at experimental projects in Quantum Optics and Quantum Key Distribution both in academic and industrial environments.
