Maksim Zhdanov

I'm a Research Scientist at Tinkoff.

At the moment, I'm a 2-year BSc computer science student at University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow).

My passion is the AI research. I believe that the state-of-the-art technologies will shape our tomorrow as we continuosly understand the laws of our world better and better. Currently, I'm particularly interested in generative modeling, probabilistic methods, and geometric deep learning.

I'm also interested in AI4Science. Mostly in applications of machine learning to biomedical and physical systems.

In the past, I participated in numerous machine learning competitions. I'm a Kaggle Competitions Expert. In 2020, as a high school student, I took 2nd place in AI Journey Competition on computer vision which was focused on recognizing ancient manuscripts of Peter the Great.

In 2020, I recieved Open Data Science Best Speaker Award for the talk on my machine learning journey.
