About me

I studied math at Moscow State University (MSU), then economics at New Economic School (NES) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and most recently, data science and programming at Yandex School of Data Analysis (YSDA).

I work primarily in the field of non-standard auction design such as: procurement, double and scoring auctions; and adjacent topics of collusion and estimation. My dissertation Mechanism Choice in Scoring Auctions at UCLA brings attention to the trade-off between quality and cost in scoring auction - an important but understudied auction format for procurement, see also codes and data. In my spare time I dabble in machine learning and python.
