Anatoly Shalyto is a Russian scientist, Doctor of Science, Professor of computer science, and the Head of the Department of Programming Technologies at ITMO University. In 2008, he was awarded by the Government of the Russian Federation for achievements in the field of education. Also, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of March 15, 2018, Anatoly was awarded a state award - the badge of distinction "For mentoring". This honorary award, established by Vladimir Putin's decree of March 2, 2018, was awarded for the first time to three people in the country, including Anatoly. This award recognizes services in the professional development and mentoring of young professionals.
Since 1991, ITMO University has created a powerful school for training the world's best programmers according to ICPC (ITMO University is the only seven-time champion of this championship in the world). Anatoly has been teaching at ITMO University since 1998 at the Departments of Computer Technology and Programming Technologies. Through the efforts of the organizers of this direction, Vladimir Vasiliev and Vladimir Parfenov, with the active participation of Anatoly and his colleagues in the university have grown a group of outstanding software developers who have created the world's first 4G communicator (Yota by Skartel), the Kotlin programming language (the second official programming language for Android applications) and cryptocurrency software Cardano. Thanks to the scientific school they created, ITMO University ranked 56th in the Times Higher Education ranking in computer science in 2016, 76th in 2017, 71st in 2018, 74th in 2019, and 74th in 2021 in this nomination according to the QS World University Ranking.
However, Professor Shalyto considers his main achievement to be his initiative to retain the most talented students at the university after graduation. Now at ITMO University, next to Parfenov and Shalyto, five champions and two prize-winners of the ICPC world programming championships are constantly working, as well as a large number of other young and talented scientists who successfully carry out research in such areas as bioinformatics and systems biology, machine learning, evolutionary computation, discrete optimization, programming technologies, including Automata-Based Programming.
