Professional biography

I received my M.Eng degree in Mathematical Electronics from the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics at Belarusian State University in Minsk, Belarus in 2003.  Subsequently,  I received my PhD from the School of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Manchester in 2007. In 2003 I also worked as a microelectronic engineer at NTLab in Minsk. I started my current position as a Research Associate in the University of Manchester in 2006.

Specific research interests

Image processing architectures and algorithms, VLSI design, vision chips, smart sensors, cellular processor arrays, digital circuits, FPGA design and microprocessor architectures, embedded systems.
