About Me
I am a mathematician working in algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, representation theory, and their computational aspects. Since 2023 I am a postdoc at TU Berlin in Michael Joswig's "Discrete Mathematics/Geometry" research group.
Until 2022 I worked at Skoltech and HSE in Moscow and prior to that I was a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.
I am always happy to talk/think about: flag varieties and Grassmannians, Lie theory and Lie algebras, tropical geometry, Gröbner theory, toric geometry, polyhedra, posets and lattices, matroids, cluster algebras and symmetric functions.
The "kh" in my last name is a hard /h/ sound, like in "hat".
CV and publications
My detailed CV.
My papers on the arXiv (in slightly non-chronological order).
Upcoming events
I am currently organizing the 2026 OSCAR Coding Sprint, taking place February 23–27 at TU Berlin. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Teaching and seminars
I currently co-organize the Discrete Mathematics and Discrete Geometry seminar at TU Berlin, please email me for questions concerning this seminar.
In 2019-2022 I co-organized the now-defunct HSE/Skoltech Seminar on Lie algebras and applications. We had a good run, a detailed archive and many recordings are still available.
In WS 2024/25 I gave lectures for the "Topology" course at TU Berlin, here are my lecture notes.
