About Me

Hi, my name is Egor and I welcome you to my little corner of the internet. I love solving challenging problems with clever algorithms or using data analysis and visualization techniques to discover hidden meanings in numbers. I obtained my B.Sc. in Physics from University of Waterloo and then went on to complete my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at Brock University. Afterwards, I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Western Ontario, where I developed software and conducted research to solve problems in quantum chemistry. Currently, I'm a software developer and research scientist at Quantum Benchmark, working on software to characterize and mitigate errors in noisy quantum computers. I also offer consulting services in high-performance computing, dealing with hardware and software aspects of scientific modelling and simulations.
