Egor Bakaev joined the BARC team on September 1, 2024 as a PhD student under the supervision of Amir Yehudayoff. He holds a MSc from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia, and will mostly be working on combinatorial and geometrical/topological problems, motivated by questions in learning theory.
His BSc thesis was on pseudoline arrangements (discrete geometry), and MSc thesis was on discrete groups of isometries in the hyperbolic plane.
Egor has composed some math olympiad problems, which you can see on the website https://sites.google.com/view/egorbakaev
