Hello, I am Maksym (also known as <span class="text-danger">Max</span>) and welcome to my academic portfolio website!
</p>

<p>
I am currently <strong>on leave</strong> from the mathematics <abbr title="Doctor of Philosophy">PhD</abbr> program at Simon Fraser University. My doctoral advisor is <a href="https://benadcock.org/">Ben Adcock</a>.
My designated research topics are in active learning for operator learning via Christoffel sampling and developing acceleration schemes for stochastic optimization algorithms.
</p>

<p>
I have previously completed a <abbr title="Master of Science">MSc</abbr> in applied mathematics at Simon Fraser University.
Prior to that, I worked as a data scientist for Statistics Canada for about 1.5 years in conjunction with completing an undergraduate degree in mathematics.
