Alice Sayutina *

Hello here! Since March 2026, I'm a PhD student in the University of Amsterdam, working under supervision of Rebecca Reiffenhäuser. Primarily, we work on fair division, prophet inequalities and mechanism design in general.
As a hobby, me and my partner made a pacifistic game about a cat which wants to go home. Please go check it out! It's one of the best things I ever did. Cat goes Home (Itch.io)
Previously, I was fortunate to work on a research masters degree in University of Waterloo🍁 working under supervision of Kanstantsin Pashkovich to whom I'm very grateful. We wrote some papers.
When I was in my Bachelors in ITMO and earlier I was particularly obsessed about competitive programming application of algorithms, which resulted in winning something gold in ICPC. I'm still trying to be involved with ICPC community as a Coach and a Jury member. List.
I'm very skeptical about (Gen)AI. I am worried about erosion of critical thinking caused by this tool and enshittification of our culture. I try to avoid this thing at all costs and I think you should too.

If you're looking to contact me for professional matters:
(Updated July 2026). I'm not looking for a job, thanks a lot.
Unless you would like a collaboration in research or maybe want to do some Game Dev or Music (I disclose I'm not good in Music but I learn the paino).

Teaching and recordings

While I was teaching algorithms and adjacent topics primarily at St. Petersburg's campus of Higher School of Economics, I was able to record a collection of educational videos.
They are available on Youtube. Some Remarks:
80% of them are in Russian
I do a look a bit different since they have been recorded.
As I've learned how to be a better educator over time, I'd changed how I teach. As I'm unconcious of intentional error I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it's probable older materials might have flaws.
