Ph.D. in Computer science, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technologies,
Russia (majors: statistical data analysis, bioinformatics)
1978-1984 -
MS in Electrical Engineering, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technologies (majors:
applied mathematics, programming)
04/2002 - 04/2007 -
the Algorithm Scientist at BIO-key, Intl. (Eagan, MN). Delivered to the company and supported the fingerprint
recognition technology developed earlier for RT and FVC 2002.
Currently under an one-year non-compete agreement with BIO-key.

a Participant of Fingerprint Verification Competition 2002 (delivered fingerprint recognition
algorithm). Consultant in the projects: language recognition with BBN Technologies and
multiple target tracking with Northeastern University (Boston, MA).
The fingerprint recognition algorithm proved to be one of the best in the world.
02/2001-07/2001 -
a Scientist at BBN Technologies (Cambridge, MA). Lead technical development
of image/video processing/recognition and speech recognition applications using C/C++ on UNIX/ Linux and Windows platforms; O/S: Windows 2000,
Solaris 2.x / Redhat 6.2.
Created software prototype for client review to secure contracts for the full-scale projects.
08/1999-01/2001 -
the Project Technical Leader at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Performed research and software development on speech recognition and time
series forecasting for power consumption on Long Island, NY. Software: SAS, MS Visual C++ 6,
Delphi 5.0, MS Excel and PowerPoint; O/S: Windows 98.
The University has been awarded with a grant from Symbol Technologies. Research successfully implemented (technology and software delivered).
Methods and software was delivered to KeySpan. The company granted the team with a new project.
10/1998-5/1999 -
a visiting Scientist and Technical Co-Leader at the Northeasten University (Boston, MA).
Have designed and programmed image processing and target tracking algorithms.
Software: Borland C++5, Delphi 3.0; O/S: Windows 95.
Based on results of the pilot project, the University was given a full-scale research grant.
1/1995 - 9/1998 -
the Chief Scientist in the "RT" (Recognition Technologies) scientific agency. Have designed and
programmed a complete technology (image processing algorithms and software) for fingerprint recognition.
Managed embedding the algorithms into a standalone prototype. Software: Turbo C, Borland Pascal; O/S: MS DOS, Windows 95.
The PC-based prototype proved to be superior to fingerprint recognition products available
at the world market at the time.
The agency demonstrated the fingerprint recognizer at security and computer expositions
in Moscow and received the partnership and licensing proposals from several companies including
Samsung (Korea), ElectroLux (Sweden), several commercial banks and multiple retailers
9/1992 - 12/1994
- the Chief Scientist in the "New Systems" scientific agency (Moscow).
Have designed and programmed a complete technology for speech and speaker recognition and
speech animation algorithms. Software: Turbo Pascal 7.0, Turbo C; O/S: MS DOS.
Demonstrated team capabilities to design high-tech products.
The agency signed a long-term partnership agreement with leading software and hardware engineering
companies in Russia and received a contract for software development from other partners.
10/1990
- 9/1992
- an Expert
in Soviet-American JV "Dialogue" (Moscow). Have developed a statistical
system "ARCaDa" for PCs. Performed statistical research.
Software: SyStat, SPSS, Turbo Pascal 5.5, Fortran; O/S: MS DOS.
8/1988 - 9/1990
- a Senior
Scientist at the Institute of Professional Diseases (Moscow). Have designed and
implemented a general statistical package for PDP-11 clone computers (PL: Fortran, O/S: RSX/RT-11).
9/1982
- 8/1988
- a working
Student, then Junior Scientist at the Institute of Transplantology
and Artificial Organs (Moscow). Have developed the system for pattern recognition and
analysis during heart surgery using Fortran on RSX/RT-11 platform.
