I was educated in Russia M.Sc. 90, Novosibirsk State U) and Israel Ph.D. 96, Weizmann Institute) in theoretical and statistical physics, spent 96-99 as a Dicke fellow at Princeton U/Physics 1996-99) and moved to Los Alamos, NM in 1999, first as an Oppenheimer fellow and then as a staff member in Theory Division and Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL) In January of 2019, relocated to Tucson, where I am the Chair of the Graduate InterDisciplinary Program GIDP) in Applied Mathematics and Professor of Mathematics at the UArizona. I also have an appointment with the Department of Computer Science courtesy) and is a member of the GIDP in Statistics and Data Science at UArizona. My area of current research focus is Scientific AI Sc-AI) that is AI applied to systems, networks and models in physical mainly statistical hydrodynamics) engineering mainly energy networks) and health mainly epidemiology, both viral and social) sciences. I view Sc-AI as a part of the contemporary applied mathematics. My Sc-AI includes Physics-Informed Data Science and Machine Learning. I love to use and develop, in all the theoretical and applied disciplines I work on, the Probabilistic Graphical Models as a methodology leading to efficient algorithms for solving challenging inference, learning, optimization and control problems.I was educated in Russia M.Sc. 90, Novosibirsk State U) and
