Bio
My actual name in Russian is Юлия, transliterated as Yulia. I have been using Julia as my professional name because it seems easier to pronounce, but I equally like both.
I was born in 1991 in the city of Rostov-on-Don, Russia, where I grew up and lived until 2017.
In 2008, I finished high school and started a CS undergraduate program at the
Faculty of Mathematics, Mechanics and Computer Science (Southern Federal University).
During my undergrad, I got involved in programming languages research
and teaching, thanks to my advisor
Stanislav Mikhalkovich.
(Stanislav is also the main person behind the teaching programming language
and IDE PascalABC.NET,
which is not to be confused with the old Pascal.)
I was lucky to have studied and then worked with several great faculty
who were interested in PL. Special thanks to
Vitaly Bragilevsky,
Artem Pelenitsyn,
and Stanislav Mikhalkovich.
In 2012–2016, I was happily teaching undergraduate CS courses at my alma mater,
Faculty of Mathematics, Mechanics and Computer Science.
While teaching half-time, I had entered a PhD program as well, although
later started anew at Northeastern.
(Feel free to ask me about this.)
At the ECOOP conference in 2016, I met
Jan Vitek who later became my PhD advisor.
I did a research internship with him in Boston in 2017 and then spent a year in
Prague as a researcher at the
Programming Languages Laboratory
of the Czech Technical University.
In September 2018, I started a PhD in Computer Science at Northeastern University and lived in Boston until my graduation in 2023. During my PhD, I did research with Jan Vitek at the Programming Research Laboratory and worked as a teaching assistant with Matthias Felleisen.
In September 2023, I started a postdoc with Suresh Jagannathan at Purdue University and have been living in Lafayette since then.
