Resume: HTML | pdf
Hello and welcome to Ilia's personal web page!
I am currently working as a programmer post-doc at the Intelligent Transportation Systems lab at the University of Toronto.

The chief purpose of this page is to document personal projects I undertake to increase my programming skill and knowledge. My current main languages are C/C++ (with CUDA) and Python, as well as Javascript for the web. Professionally, I am especially interested in Machine Learning, Optimization, Traffic Control, and Computer-Aided Physics Simulation.
