Ilya Nikolaevskiy is a visitor working with Scott Shenker of Networking and Security. He's here on our Finnish visiting program, which is funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation through Aalto University and the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.

Ilya received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Petrozavodsk State University in Russia. He moved to Finland for doctoral studies at the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology in 2011. His research is in securing implantable medical devices. He is studying ways to wirelessly transmit information from devices such as pacemakers and blood sugar sensors while ensuring that private information cannot be eavesdropped on. While at ICSI, Ilya will work with Scott on fault-tolerant routing. He is also interested in algorithm design analysis. And when not doing that, he enjoys ice skating.
