You can call me Rafik. I’m an MSc Computer Science student at the University of Bonn, with an expected graduation in 2028. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Novosibirsk State University in 2025.
My research experience includes machine learning and computational modelling, particularly the interpretation of high-frequency electromagnetic data. You can find my research outputs on the Publications page and more about my education, experience, and projects in my CV.
Beyond computer science
I’m interested in contemporary history, philosophy, and literature. Music is another constant, from classical to indie rock and folk. I enjoy learning across these interests and finding new things to explore.
I speak English and Russian, and I’m slowly figuring out German. Feel free to get in touch.
