After studying Computer Science, Mathematics and Mathematics Education in several universities in Moscow in 1995 I defended the Ph.D. thesis in Philosophy in the Institute of Philosophy of Russian Academy of Sciences, and received a research position in this Institute. During the academic year 1998/1999 I was a Visiting Scholar in the Columbia University in NYC, US on the Fulbright grant. Upon my return to Russia I continued working as a researcher in the Russian Academy of Science, and in 2003 I got a postdoc position in Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France. In 2012 I returned again to Russia and until Spring 2022 combined a research in the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow with teaching in Smolny College of the State University of Saint-Petersburg. In 2020 I defended here my second thesis (Dr.Sc) on the axiomatic architecture of scientific theories. 

In Spring 2022, soon after the beginning of the Russian military offensive against Ukraine, I and my family left Russia for France. Presently I have a position of researcher and lecturer in the University of Lorraine in Nancy, France. Here I do research in the Archive of Henri Poincaré and teach various courses in the engineering school ENSGSI. My current research project is focused on epistemological issues of computer-based knowledge representation.
