Welcome to the Golovin reseach group

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Bar-Ilan University. In the years 2021–2025 I was a Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor at the Mathematics department as well as at the Rhodes Interdisciplinary Initiative at Duke University, working with Prof. Ingrid Daubechies. In 2021 I completed my Ph.D. at the Department of Applied Mathematics, School of Mathematical Sciences, Tel Aviv University, under the supervision of Prof. David Levin and Prof. Yoel Shkolnisky.

Ongoing Projects

With the dissemination of high-dimensional data, we wish to study its underlying geometry and answer long-debated questions in the fields that acquired the data. Although data can originate from various domains (e.g., images, surfaces), a reasonable assumption is that they lie on a manifold. At the heart of these challenges lies a fundamental question: how can we extract meaningful structure from thisdata? Real-world datasets are rarely clean - they are shaped by noise, outliers, and uneven sampling - and each new application introduces fresh scientific questions.
