Dr. Evgeny Smirnov works in the field of the dynamics of asteroids. In 2017, he introduced a machine learning approach based on the supervised learning for the identification procedure that decreases the computational time from weeks to seconds. In the same year, he proposed a similar approach for asteroid families instead of the classical HCM method. With a strong background in science and software development, Evgeny connects these areas and brings modern software development patterns and techniques into the field of astronomy.
