Sergey Tikhomirov
Associate Professor, Saint-Petersburg State University, Russia
As a high school student Sergey was a winner of National Mathematics Olympiad. He defended his PhD in Saint-Petersburg State University in 2009 in the area of dynamical systems.
During 2009-2016 he was a research fellow in Taipei, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin and Leipzig.
In 2016 returned back to Saint-Petersburg as an Associate Professor, where he conducted fundamental research and teaching in the fields on dynamical systems, partially differential equations and quantum computing.
Additionally to fundamental research Sergey Tikhomirov is leading applied projects for the oil industry.
How would you define your field of study? What is your vision about it? Which are the topics you're most passionate about?
My main field of study are dynamical systems, PDE and applications. Currently I am mostly passionate on studies of unstable fluid dynamics and creation of practical algorithms for quantum computers.
How do you expect your experience in IMM to be? Why did you accept to teach for this project?
I believe that education is a good way to develop countries and build better societies. Such projects as IMM make the life in world better and it is a great honor to be part of this.
