Alex Rhatushnyak

Greetings! Alex Rhatushnyak,

officially Alexander Oleg Rhatushnyak*, Ph.D,

I am a computer scientist living in Canada as a rule.

A data compression expert, as you can see from the first four links below. I enjoy music, technology, traveling, innovation, and many other things. The ultimate nature of reality is one of my research interests (-:

A native of Siberia, I immigrated to Canada in 2006, lived also in USA in 2013-2014 and England in 2014-2016. Won HKCC prize many times till 2018, and contributed a lot to the new JPEG-XL standard in 2018-2019.

Also, https://soundcloud.com/alexander-rhatushnyak -- not sure how many of the melodies are far enough from the nearest analogue... so far that I could even claim that those were composed by me. For sure I'll be thankful for all your comments about them.

Besides, you can find me on YouTube:

here - https://youtu.be/gqpsD6OKSjM (StarCon 2018**)

and here - https://youtu.be/OlycS_zQ1hc (pull-ups)

and here - https://youtu.be/zcTyjWazfuk -- at around 0:00:26 in the trailer. More in the movie.

...

* Since 2012. Before 2012 the official spelling of my surname was Ratushnyak, without the h after R.

** Text is more essential than video and slides.

Apologies if some of the links don't work for you. Please let me know. Here in Ontario in December 2020 they all work well...

My Skype alias is paqar_ -- there's an underscore after five letters. I also use Viber and Telegram. No WhatsApp since November 2020.
