1. Life and career
Victor V. Przyjalkowski graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2004 with honours (specialty “Mathematics. Applied Mathematics”) and completed the postgraduate programme of the Steklov Mathematical Institute in 2007, defending his candidate dissertation.
He works at the Steklov Mathematical Institute and is at present Leading Researcher of the Department of Algebraic Geometry. Since 2008 he has lectured at the University of Vienna.
Since 2011 he has worked part-time at the Higher School of Economics as Deputy Head of the International Laboratory for Mirror Symmetry and Automorphic Forms.
In 2017 he defended his doctoral dissertation “Toric Landau–Ginzburg models” at the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
He is a laureate of the Moscow Government Prize for young scientists for 2019 in the nomination “Mathematics, Mechanics and Computer Science” for research in mirror symmetry and the creation of the theory of toric Landau–Ginzburg models, and a winner of the 2020 competition for state support of young Russian scientists, doctors of sciences.
Since 2020 he has been Professor at the Department of Differential Geometry and Applications of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of MSU.

3. Research
The main topics of V. V. Przyjalkowski's research are mirror symmetry, Landau–Ginzburg models, Gromov–Witten invariants and birational geometry. He created the theory of toric Landau–Ginzburg models, which provides a constructive approach to mirror symmetry for Fano varieties and their degenerations; this work was the subject of his doctoral dissertation and was recognized by the Moscow Government Prize for young scientists.
