I completed my PhD at EPFL's CVLab in January 2019, where I was supervised by Prof. Pascal Fua and Prof. Raphael Sznitman. In autumn 2017 during my internship at Google Research in Zurich I had a chance to work with Vittorio Ferrari and Jasper Uijlings.

I obtained my M.Sc. degree in Algorithms and Machine Learning from University of Helsinki. During that time, I also worked as a research assistant in the CoSCo group at HIIT. Before, I studied in Russia at the Higher School of Economics in the faculty of Business Informatics and Applied Mathematics.

At DeepMind I work on offline reinforcement learning and reward learning. In particular, I am interested in generalisation and adaptation to various tasks in multi-task, few-shot and zero-shot learning. Often, my research is motivated by the challenges in data-driven robotics. During my PhD I worked on active learning for different classification tasks with more focus on vision applications. I developed a meta-learning approach to active learning, where a strategy is learnt from the previously encountered problems.
