I am a Reader in Pure Mathematics at the University of Manchester.
My research interests are on the crossroads of Algebra, Differential Geometry, Topology, and Mathematical Physics. I have done research in supermanifold geometry, quantization, index theorem, quantum groups, and integral geometry. My most recent research concerns odd and even Poisson brackets, homotopy algebras, super linear algebra and its applications, and other topics. You can find more information here.
I received my Ph.D. and B.A./M.A. from the Moscow State University in 1989 and 1984. Moscow is my native place and my mother tongue is Russian. I am a member of the large community of Russian mathematicians working outside Russia.
In 1991-1996, I worked at the Department of Mathematics of the Moscow State University. Before obtaining a permanent position at Manchester in February 1999, I spent some good time in California on visiting positions at the UC Berkeley and UCSD. I have been back at Berkeley a few times after that as visiting scholar. In recent years, I have also been visiting professor at Notre Dame University and Michigan State University.
Besides mathematics, I am interested in literature, religion, and philosophy. See here.
