Tell us about your Skoltech journey. Why did you decide to join Skoltech?
After completing my bachelor's degree in Kazan, Russia, I had a few options for pursuing a master's degree. Since I don't particularly fancy a "nomadic" lifestyle, I knew it would be a critical decision for me, so I sought for where I could build a career for myself. I found a good fit between my passion, my future prospective and what Skoltech offers in its entirety.
I wanted to have an interesting adventure with experimental research in my field of study, and I learned that Skoltech has a cutting-edge lab facility devoted to just that. It wasn't until after I joined Skoltech and started working in the lab, that I realise the gold mine I had struck. So far,
choosing Skoltech has been one of my best decisions.
