Sergey Aleksandrovich Videnin is an Associate Professor at the Department of Software Engineering within the Faculty of Computer Science at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE University) since 2022. His academic background includes a Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences degree (2010) and extensive professional experience in both academia and industry. Prior to joining HSE, he served as Deputy Director of the IT Education Development Center at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (2021-2022) and as Head of the Department of Information Systems at Siberian Federal University (2010-2021). Videnin's educational background includes graduation from Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P. Astafyev in 2005 with a specialty in "Informatics with an additional specialty in pedagogy-psychology" and qualification as a "Teacher-psychologist." He has completed numerous professional development courses in educational technologies, digital transformation of education, and software engineering from HSE University, Siberian Federal University, and other institutions between 2011 and 2025. His research interests span information systems architecture, design patterns, object-oriented programming theory, theoretical foundations of programming, programming languages, and application software. Videnin has made significant contributions to educational technology, particularly in implementing active learning methods in programming education within the CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) engineering education framework. Videnin's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of software engineering principles and educational practices, with particular attention to practical applications in real-world contexts including real estate market analysis, biological image processing, and industrial process control. His work shows a consistent trend toward developing practical solutions that bridge theoretical concepts with tangible applications across diverse domains. Gratitude from the Department of Software Engineering, HSE (November 2023) Best Teacher - 2023-2025 High professional potential group (HSE personnel reserve) Category "New teachers" (2023) Winner of the All-Russian competition "League of Lecturers" organized by the Russian society "Knowledge" (May 2023) Videnin has been actively involved in teaching various computer science courses including Software Design, Computer System Architecture, Operating Systems, and Java Programming.
