Draft:Yuri Medvedev
Submission declined on 24 October 2024 by Jannatulbaqi (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Yuri Medvedev (born 1954) is a Canadian mathematician and financial specialist whose career spans both theoretical research in mathematics and practical applications in the financial industry. His areas of expertise include non-associative algebra, group theory, financial mathematics, and credit and pricing optimization. Medvedev has authored over 30 research papers, published in journals across several countries, and has held positions in both academia and industry.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Medvedev was born in the USSR in 1954 and studied mathematics at Novosibirsk State University. As a student, he participated in seminars led by Ivan Shestakov and colleagues, which focused on finite-dimensional algebras. These early experiences shaped his academic interests, leading him to pursue a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics.[2] His dissertation, Finite Basis Problems for Identities of Varieties of Algebras that are Nearly Associative, examined properties of non-associative algebraic structures.[2]
Career
[edit]Academic career
[edit]Medvedev spent over 20 years in academia, including roles at York University in Toronto, where he conducted research in algebra, group theory, and related areas.[3] His work involved topics such as Jordan algebra, non-associative rings and p-groups, contributing to the understanding of these mathematical fields.[1][4][5]
In addition to his teaching and research roles, Medvedev collaborated with the Scotia Centre for Analytics at Queen’s University and served on the board of the Queen’s Master of Management Analytics program.[6]
Finance career
[edit]In his later career, Medvedev joined the financial industry, working as Chief Mathematician at the Bank of Montreal (BMO) in Toronto, Canada.[7] At BMO, he applied mathematical methods to improve credit management and pricing strategies. His efforts included the development of SAS-based decision-tree models and uplift modeling techniques, which helped the bank optimize lending products and financial performance.[8][9] His work aimed to make processes more data-driven and responsive to market conditions.
Personal life
[edit]Medvedev lives in Toronto with his wife, Yelena. His children and grandchildren are based in Canada and the United States. In retirement, Medvedev has pursued gardening and remains engaged with investments, applying his analytical skills to new personal interests.
Influence
[edit]Medvedev’s career reflects a blend of theoretical and applied work, spanning both mathematics and financial services. His transition from academia to industry demonstrates the adaptability of mathematical methods across different fields. His contributions to both areas continue to inform practices in research and financial optimization.[8][10]
