Biography

Dr. Sergey Arustamov joined ITMO University in February 2008. In June 2009, he was elected a professor at the then-Faculty of Computer Technologies and Control Systems. Currently, Sergey Arustamov is the deputy head for research and project work and a project manager at the faculty.

Taught courses

• Security of Information Processes in Automatic Systems;

• Theory and Management of Information Security at Corporation;

• Information Technologies in Education and Science; 

• English for Business and Science. 

As of now, Prof. Sergey Arustamov supervises six PhD students, four Master’s students, and six Specialist’s students. His areas of interest include theory and practice of computer-aided design of electronic systems, including systems-on-a-chip, hardware and software information security solutions, and theory and management of corporate information security.

In 2009-2010, he actively participated in projects initiated by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science (now Ministry of Science and Higher Education) as part of the federal targeted program Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Human Resources of Innovation-Driven Russia for 2009-2013 (attracting foreign scientists for research activities) in the design of architecture and methods for developing hardware and software for systems-on-a-chip combining different types of processor cores and data processing methods (supervised by prof. Timour Paltashev).

In March 2011, Dr. Arustamov and his colleagues helped create and register a joint small innovative enterprise Automated Systems in Robotics (Russia, Sweden, and Norway) designed to promote future research results in the field. 

Since 2011, he has been an official expert at the Russia-European commission on innovations and research in information and communication technologies (ERA.Net-RUS SIC).

From 1992 to 2007, Prof. Arustamov worked in Crédit Lyonnais Rusbank, which was acquired by Crédit Agricole in 2004, in St. Petersburg and Moscow as the chief information officer. 

In 1988-1992, Prof. Arustamov headed the Department of Microelectronics and Design Automation (50 employees) at the Leningrad Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics (now ITMO University).

During this time and prior, he had been a supervisor and executor of 12 projects related to systems of automated design of electronic devices requested by the Soviet Central Committee of the Communist Party and Council of Ministers.

In 1989, he defended his PhD thesis on the theoretical foundations for designing the topology of matrix LSIs based on the detailization of design solutions. 

In 1990, Sergey Arustamov received the title of professor.
