About

Dmitry Lyakhov is a Research Scientist in the Visual Computing Center. Before, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Group of Algebraic and Quantum Computations and a Lecturer at the Belarusian State University. He was graduated with his Ph.D. in mathematics and M.Sc. in theoretical physics at the Belarusian State University. He is also an alumnus of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and visiting scholar of von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. His research comprises algebraic algorithms, mathematical modeling, symbolic computations and theoretical aspects of visual computing. In industrial context he was working on development of rigorous algorithmics for robust mesh generation in computational fluid dynamics (at Numeca International). Additionally, in 2018 he obtained nanodegree in machine learning.
