About

Profile

I am Pavel Drozdov, a researcher working in the fields of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.

I mainly study the structures, inspired by physics, on the mathematical level. It has always been fascinating for me not only how effective the mathematical approach can be on the way toward cognition of Nature, but also how æsthetically logical and self-consistent it is per se. In my research work, I use mostly algebraic methods.

Apart from work, I enjoy hiking and cooking. I also have a passion for traveling and exploring new places; however, since my job includes visiting scientific conferences all around the world, there is usually no lack of trips in my life. Last but not least, sometimes I spend my time looking through the personal knowledge management techniques to further implement them in my own research work.

Below you can find my CV, while for publications, please refer to the dedicated page.
