		<h2 align="center">Who am I</h2>
		<p>I'm a fifth-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. Originally, I'm from Russia and before I came to the USA I  	spent 5 years at the Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University. My main research interests are focused around the Web: Web structure and evolution; efficient algorithms for content management and information retrieval of the Web; digital library interoperability architectures; automatic metadata extraction and collection generation from the Web; machine learning for Web-related problems;Web 2.0 and user behavior on the Web. I am also interested in machine learning and data mining in a broader context.</p> 
		<p>In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, hiking and fishing, skiing, swimming, playing badminton and outdoor games, ballroom dancing, partying with my friends, listening to music, and reading some phylosophy books. I'm also involved in organizing <a href="http://www.artofliving.org/">Art of Living</a> courses, and in teaching <a href="http://www.srisriyoga.info/">Sri Sri Yoga</a>. I used to play the classical guitar, but due to the lack of time (see above about research interests), I don't play at the moment. I like cooking (especially exotic international meals), I collect coins and cones, and I do some origami when I'm in the mood for that.</p>
