Vyacheslav Fedorov — Software Engineer & Physicist

About

Experienced Python developer and research scientist with 8+ years of combined academic and industry experience. Currently teaching "Software development and application in Physical research" at NSU and research at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, specializing in particle beam dynamics and accelerator control systems.

I am passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and software engineering. As Richard Feynman said, "the best test of understanding is the ability to explain it to someone else" — I actively mentor teams, teach seminars on advanced CS topics, and develop open-source educational materials.
