Tabachnikov studied mathematics at the Moscow State Pedagogical University , where he graduated in 1978 and then taught at a special mathematics school for two years. From 1979 to 1988 he was assistant professor and program coordinator at the correspondence school for mathematics at Lomonosov University , initiated by Israel Gelfand . In 1987 he received his doctorate from Lomonosov University with Dmitry Fuchs and Anatoli Fomenko ( Geometrical applications of the cohomology of infinite dimensional Lie algebras ). In 1990 he went to the USA, where he became an associate professor and later professor at the University of Arkansas . From 2000 he was a professor at Pennsylvania State University , where he is director of the MASS program. He was a visiting scientist at IHES , MSRI , the Mathematical Research Institute Oberwolfach , the Isaac Newton Institute , the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and the University of Tel Aviv .

Tabachnikov mainly deals with geometric issues, from differential topology , nodes , geometry of Lie groups , projective differential geometry , scrolling , contact geometry , symplectic geometry to classic problems such as Poncelet's closure theorem , as well as dynamic systems such as billiards .

From 1988 to 1990 he was the head of the mathematics editorial team in the Russian popular science magazine Kvant , for which he also wrote many articles.

He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
