Teaching Team

Sergey Lando

Sergey Lando, a renowned mathematician and Professor at HSE (and founding Dean of Mathematics, 2008-2015), is a leading mathematician specialising in algebraic geometry, topology, and combinatorics.
Renowned for co-discovering the famous ELSV formula (establishing a deep connection between Hurwitz numbers and intersection theory on the moduli space of curves), his research on Vassiliev knot invariants has contributed significantly to the combinatorial and algebraic framework that underpins these finite-type invariants, helping to clarify how chord diagrams and weight systems capture the subtle properties of knots.
He has held positions globally (Sweden, the UK, France, Germany, the USA, Canada, and the Netherlands) and holds leading roles in the Moscow Mathematical Society (Vice-President) and the American Mathematical Society. His leadership and mentorship have helped shape the mathematical landscape in Russia and beyond.

Alexander Kazantsev

Alexander Kazantsev earned his PhD and defended his dissertation on "Foliations on Manifolds in the Complements of Links" in Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU). Concurrently, he completed studies at the Russian School of Economics.
He held leadership roles at various educational institutions in Moscow and maintained an active tutoring and teaching career in mathematics.
Driven by a preference for applying mathematical knowledge, particularly probability theory and statistics, in practical settings, he began his financial career at the American firm WorldQuant before joining the HFT company Aim High Tech, where he currently heads an equity trading group. His team employs sophisticated technical and mathematical infrastructure: proprietary C++ and Python software running on distributed servers, utilising regression analysis, genetic algorithms, and neural networks for predictive modelling in global exchange trading.

Kirill Stupakov

Kirill Stupakov is a dedicated mathematics educator with extensive experience in teaching and mentoring students. He served as a teacher and math program coordinator at one of Moscow’s most prestigious schools. His students, specialising in mathematics, computer science, economics, and biology, have gained admission to top-tier universities, developing strong analytical skills and intellectual curiosity through his guidance.
Beyond secondary education, Kirill has taught undergraduate courses in mathematics and related fields at leading institutions including the Australian National University, the Independent University of Moscow, and the Higher School of Economics.
Kirill also completed his bachelor's and master's degrees at the Higher School of Economics. He remains actively involved in mathematical outreach, organising competitions, evaluating olympiads, and teaching at intensive summer programs for advanced high school and university students.

Nikita Nikitenkov

Nikita Nikitenkov is a dynamic mathematics educator with a talent for cultivating Olympiad champions. His distinctive approach combines deep structural analysis of mathematical problems with cross-disciplinary thinking, drawing insights from physics to reveal hidden patterns in abstract challenges.
As an Olympiad trainer, he encourages students to value learning from failed attempts as much as elegant solutions. His students regularly achieve top honours at international competitions, demonstrating a remarkable ability to tackle complex graph theory and combinatorial problems.
With international teaching experience at MIT, he adapts contemporary pedagogical methods to nurture students' abstraction skills while maintaining the rigorous problem-solving tradition. Beyond the classroom, he advocates for growth mindset development, urging parents to focus on conceptual understanding rather than competitive outcomes alone.

Maria Kirsanova

Maria Kirsanova is a leading researcher at the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Astronomy RAS. Maria brings cutting-edge space science to the classroom. Her work bridges astrophysics, molecular chemistry, and space engineering, with active roles at Skolkovo Institute of Science & Technology and Moscow Institute of Physics & Technology (MIPT).
Her research covers the origin and transport of water in the universe is an important part of the scientific program of the Millimetron space, star clusters' population in the giant molecular cloud, chemical differentiation and gas kinematics around massive young stellar objects and many other exciting subjects.
Maria mentors next-generation scientists developing instrumentation for frontier space missions while advancing our understanding of the universe.

Prof. Dr. Jürg Kramer

Research Focus: Arakelov geometry, automorphic forms (particularly modular forms), and their interfaces. Key contributions include:

Generalising arithmetic intersection theory to hermitian metrics with logarithmic singularities
Establishing optimal sup-norm bounds for modular forms
Relating the L-series of holomorphic modular forms and Maass forms
Estimating Arakelov invariants via hyperbolic geometry
Educational Leadership:
Develops specialised training programs for mathematics teachers
Founded the Berlin Network of Schools Specialising in Mathematics and Sciences for gifted students
Creates accessible mathematical content for public engagement
Leads third-party funded educational initiatives

Djordje Baralic

Djordje Baralic - Research Associate Professor at the Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts
A professional mathematician interested in toric topology and its applications, combinatorics, discrete geometry and algebraic topology. Currently, serves as Assistant Director of the Mathematical Institute SANU, in charge of international collaboration, working with gifted students and science promotion.

Georgios Tzachristas

Georgios Tzachristas - 19 y.o. Greek student from Ioannina, Greece, who has won numerous gold medals and top prizes in international, national, and regional mathematics competitions from 2017 to the present. These include a gold medal with the best Greek score ever at the 2023 International Mathematical Olympiad. He also plays piano, competes in chess tournaments, dances, and plays football and basketball in his spare time.

Dr Demetres Christofides

Dr Demetres Christofides - PhD in Mathematics (University of Cambridge, 2008), Assistant Professor in Mathematics, UCLan Cyprus (2015 – present), Board Member, Cyprus Mathematical Society. His research area is combinatorics. Most of the research work is concerned with random graphs and with extremal graph theory. Apart from еру broad interest within combinatorics, Dr Demetres has also worked in positional games, information theory, structural graph theory, randomised algorithms, inﬂuences of Boolean functions, correlation inequalities, other extremal graph theory problems, complexity of matrix multiplication, isoperimetric problems, graph algorithms, and model theory.

Who can join?

This program is designed for students aged 13 to 17 who have a strong interest in advanced mathematics. Prior experience with math Olympiads or a demonstrated interest in competitive mathematics is recommended. All instruction is conducted in English, so participants should be comfortable learning in an English-speaking environment. A mathematics placement test is required for admission.

Why join?

Participants will study advanced mathematical topics beyond the standard school curriculum and learn from top-tier educators and Olympiad trainers. The program offers the opportunity to join an international community of learners, practice mathematics in English, and prepare for global competitions. Students will receive expert feedback and connect with like-minded peers who share their passion for mathematics.

What's beyond the numbers?

Participants will enjoy various engaging activities beyond mathematics, helping them recharge and connect with others. Includes a guided excursion, regular swimming sessions, and informal evening activities.
