My name is Ivan Kolesnikov. I am twenty-five years old and currently I am a PhD student at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France.
My education:
- PhD in Information and telecommunications systems (Paul Sabatier University) 2021 - now
- Master 2 Computer Science for Aerospace (Paul Sabatier University) 2020 - 2021
- Master in Information systems and technologies (Astrakhan State University) 2017 - 2019
- Bachelor in Mechatronics and robotics (Astrakhan State University) 2013 - 2017
I've also participated in various robotics and programming competitions. The most remarkable ones:
- RobotChallenge 2018, Beijing (first and third places in PuckCollect category)
- RobotChallenge 2017, Beijing (second place in PuckCollect category)
- Robomaticon 2018, Warsaw (first place in PuckCollect category)
- ACM ICPC (our team two times passed to the semi-final in Saint-Petersburg, Russia)
- Robofinist (multiple years and categories)
- Robofest (multiple years and categories)
Of course there are more less big competitions. You can learn more about some of our robot projects here.
All my robotics experience wasn't possible without my good colleague and the best friend Mikhail Ilmenskii which is also currently doing his PhD in Paris-Saclay university.
