I am a fifth-year mathematics Ph.D. candidate at UCLA. Prior to this, I received an Honors B.S. in mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I completed my honors thesis in spectral theory with Jeremy Marzuola. At UCLA, my Ph.D. advisor is Michael Hitrik. My research uses tools from semiclassical and microlocal analysis to study the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operators. You can learn more about my past and current work on my research page.
I am on the job market as of Fall 2026. You can find my CV here. Feel free to reach me by email at malkov [at] math.ucla.edu.
I will be present at the International Congress of Mathematicians, July 23-30, 2026, in Philadelphia.
As of Summer 2026, I am the instructor of record for MATH 33B – Differential Equations and the Teaching Assistant for the UCLA Basic Exam Bootcamp.
