I graduated from the Physics/Astronomy department of Moscow State University in 2006. After that, I pursued my PhD at the University of Heidelberg under the supervision of Prof. Hans-Walter Rix. I defended my thesis on 'Understanding the Milky Way Halo through Large Surveys' in 2009. Following that, I joined the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge as a research associate. In 2016, I was awarded the Ernest Rutherford Fellowship to continue my work in Cambridge. Subsequently, in 2017, I moved to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA, where I served as an assistant professor at the McWilliams Center for Cosmology. I was promoted to associate professor in 2020. During the same year, I moved to the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh as a Reader in Observational Astronomy. In 2024 I was promoted to professor and a personal chair of astronomy. Additionally, I hold the title of Affiliated Lecturer at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge.
