Ilia Igashov

I am a fourth year PhD student at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne co-advised by Prof. Bruno Correia and Prof. Michael Bronstein, and grateful to be a fellow of the EPFLglobaLeaders program and to be awarded Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral fellowship. My research interests lie in geometric learning and its application in scientific domains such as biology and chemistry. I am especially focused on using geometric deep learning for protein-protein interactions and drug discovery.

I earned my BS in Applied Mathematics and Physics, and my MS in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Additionally, I completed the M2 program in Science in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (MSIAM) at Université Grenoble Alpes. Throughout my Master's studies, I had an opportunity to intern at Inria Rhône-Alpes and Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann, where I was working with Dr. Sergei Grudinin.
