Andrei N. Migunov

Drake University. Assistant Professor of Computer Science

I’m Andrei - welcome to my site. I’m originally from Riga, Latvia and have been in the U.S. for most of my life. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Iowa State University in 2022, and then started teaching at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.

I love my wife, my family, and my friends. I’m grateful to be able to spend my time doing mathematics and teaching the many brilliant and hard-working students I get to meet at Drake.

Donate to Des Moines Mutual Aid and help keep our houseless neighbors warm through the winter. DMMA has no paid staff and never will - all of your donation goes directly to keeping people warm. $14 keeps one person warm in an average tent for one week. It is not easy to comprehend just how cold it is outside in the Winter- anything helps.

Apr 9, 2024 Congratulations to Nicholas Haisler, a student at Drake University, for winning second place in the CCSC Central Plains Conference poster competition! Nicholas discussed work in progress on implementing a compiler for nanotech applications. His poster was titled “Compiling to a Nanotech Language: Population Protocols”.
Sep 1, 2023 Together with Xiang Huang and Liang Kong at University of Illinois-Springfield, received grant DE-SC0024278 from the Department of Energy to study the relationships between analog models and submodels, and to develop a compiler to transform ODE systems into population protocols. This project involves many undergraduate research opportunities for Drake and UIS students!
