Supervision

Currently (summer 2024) I am supervising one internship. It is funded by Research Council of Lithuania.

Previously I have supervised:

• 1 master degree student (2024).
• 3 bachelor degree students (2017 (×2), 2022).
• 3 internship projects (2013, 2016, 2024).

Lectures, exam and defense committees

• 2024 - now. Member of the Doctoral studies committee at Vilnius University Faculty of Physics. Responsibilities: admission exams, general oversight of doctoral studies.
• 2023 - 2024. Tutorial "Agent-based modeling" as a part of "Quantum Statistical Physics" course (for first year master degree students Vilnius University Faculty of Physics). Tutorial focus: introduction to agent-based modeling and physics of social systems. Slides used in 2024.
• 2019 - 2022. Course "Numerical Methods I" (for first year bachelor degree students at Vilnius University Faculty of Physics). Course focus: introduction to programming and common numerical methods using Matlab. Slides used in 2022.
• 2018, 2019, 2022. Exam committee member of "Stochastic Processes" course (for doctoral students at Vilnius University Faculty of Physics).
• 2011 Spring. Seminars of "Theoretical Mechanics" course (for second year bachelor degree students at Vilnius University Faculty of Physics). Course focus: Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics.

I have served as a defense panel member for one PhD thesis (2022). Also, on two occasions (2023, 2024) I have served as a defense panel member for bachelor degree theses (roughly 30 students each year).

I have reviewed three bachelor degree theses (2020, 2023, 2024).
