Evgeny Ponomarev is a robotics and automation leader with 10 years of experience blending academic rigor (PhD in Computer Science) and industrial delivery in computer vision, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. Currently leading the RL Control Team at Sber Robotics, he trains humanoid robots for locomotion and expressive behaviors, turning teleoperated demonstrations into robust whole-body controllers. His background spans hands-on ML engineering—implementing instance segmentation, object detection, and vision systems for humanoid platforms—and consulting on algorithmic portfolio optimization and agricultural automation. Comfortable in both C++ and Python stacks, he has a track record of shipping prototypes from RGB-D perception to production-ready ML components. Colleagues describe him as someone who enjoys automating complex tasks and finding smart, sometimes unconventional, solutions that bridge research and product.
