Shershakov Sergey Andreevich

Sergey Shershakov is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Computer Science, Department of Software Engineering at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE University). He serves as the Academic Director of the Systems and Software Engineering educational program and has been with HSE University since 2010. His academic journey includes a PhD from HSE University (2020) and a Master's degree in Software Engineering from the same institution (2012).

Dr. Shershakov's research focuses primarily on Process Mining and Software Engineering, with specific interests in:

• Process Mining methodologies and tools
• Software Process Mining and analysis
• Object-Oriented and Component-Oriented Programming
• Information Systems Architecture
• Verification of Algorithms
• Embedded Systems development

His scholarly contributions demonstrate a consistent focus on developing practical tools and methodologies for process mining, with particular emphasis on creating graphical interfaces (like VTMine for Visio), improving performance of process mining algorithms, and applying these techniques to real-world systems. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical software engineering applications, especially in the domain of business process analysis and optimization.

Dr. Shershakov has received numerous recognitions for his academic work:

• Best Teacher award (2014, 2017-2021)
• Best Academic Supervisor in the category 'Admission of Foreign Students' (2024)
• Multiple Gratitude awards from HSE University leadership (2017-2024)
• Academic Work Allowance (2016-2021)
• Member of the 'New Researchers' category in the High Professional Potential Group (2014-2015)

As an educator, Dr. Shershakov teaches multiple courses in C++ programming, Algorithms and Data Structures, and Introduction to Programming across different departments at HSE University. He leads research projects including an RFBR grant focused on 'Development of methods for efficient implementation of algorithms of process mining based on large event logs' (2018). He is also an active member of the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining.

Dr. Shershakov is affiliated with the Laboratory of Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS Lab) at HSE University, where he conducts research on process mining techniques and their applications. His work has significant implications for business process optimization, system verification, and software engineering practices.
