I am interested in well motivated optimization problems which lend themselves to an insightful mathematical analysis.

Konstantin Mishchenko is a Ph.D. candidate at Visual Computing Center (VCC) in King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), studying under the supervision of Professor Peter Richtarik in his research group.

Education and Early Career

Konstantin Mishchenko obtained his bachelor degree in Computer Science and Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2016. After that in 2017, he received his master degree in Machine Learning MASH from Université Paris Dauphine in Paris, France.

Konstantin had many internships during his studies. The most recent was with Amazon in which he was an applied scientist intern to build machine learning models. Before that, he was an intern at AIM High Tech in Mosco.

Research Interest

He is interested in optimization methods for machine learning and especially in stochastic and distributed algorithms for large-scale problems, medical imaging and numerical methods in computer science.

Honors and Awards

Konstantin was the 1st place winner at PlumeLabs Data Challenge. Also, he was awarded the Paris Graduate School of Mathematics fellowship for the years 2016 and 2017. He won the 1st prize at the Higher School of Economics Olympiad on Applied Math and Informatics in 2015. He was awarded 1st prize at both Moscow Mathematical Olympiad and Phystech International in Mathematics during 2012.
