Mentoring & teaching

This page shows some of my experience in mentoring high school students in math research.

Mentoring
2025 · MIT PRIMES

Totally dense collections of subspaces

Student: Leo Hong

In this project we studied Diophantine approximations with restrictions on numerators and denominators via the Khintchine-Jarnik's construction of singular matrices.

2023 · MIT PRIMES

Schmidt Diagrams

Student: Eric Zhan

In this project we studied the classical Schmidt's game on two families of subsets of real numbers: the set of d-Badly approximable numbers and the sets with certain restriction on digit frequencies.

2019–2022

Tournament of Young Mathematicians

Coached AESC MSU (Kolmogorov School) teams in collaborative mathematical research and mathematical fights.

  • 2019VII Saint Petersburg Tournament of Young Mathematicians: Joint first place (Diploma I)
  • 2019XXI Republican Tournament of Young Mathematicians, Minsk: Fourth place
  • 2020VIII Saint Petersburg Tournament of Young Mathematicians, online: Diploma II
  • 2022X Saint Petersburg Tournament of Young Mathematicians, online: Second place
Teaching

My teaching has ranged from university calculus and differential equations to number theory and mathematics olympiad programs.
