Who am I
My name is Ivan Pozdniakov. I teach data analysis and statistics in R, both as courses at universities and as a tutor. I have a free book (in Russian) “Data Analysis and Statistics in R”. I currently live in Tbilisi, Georgia, where I left after Putin started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Plans and interests
I am in the process of returning to science after working in IT and teaching. My main area of interest is computational neuroscience and I am looking for a PhD position in this field.
My other academic interests include philosophy of mind and digital humanities. I have collaborated with the DraCor team for years, in particular, I’ve developed a CRAN-published R package {rdracor} and the Shiny web application. I am also interested in history, politics, philosophy (the hard problem of consciousness especially), activism, data journalism, data science, generative art, R and tidyverse.
