I come from Ulan-Ude, a relatively small city in Siberia, the capital of Buryatia, Russia.
Some pictures of Ulan-Ude and Buryatia I found on Picasa: here, and here.
Before coming to Italy I studied at the Faculty of Information Technologies of the Novosibirsk State University.
I speak Russian, English, Italian, German, Spanish (in the decreasing order).
I enjoy taking photos, dancing tango, doing yoga, and travelling!
A nice course on astronomy: Understanding Astronomy .
Here I upload some of the pictures made by me in TikZ.
My TikZ poster
I also developed a poster template based on a0poster and TikZ, called fancytikzposter.
