Having won all of the major honors in juggling both in a team with his sister and individually, at the end of 2008 Vova decided to focus on his academic efforts. The products of this shift of focus surfaced shortly as in April 2009 Vova presented a mathematics lecture dedicated to solving the vector wave equation subject to a divergence-free constraint for CSU Northridge's PUMP (Preparing Undergraduates through Mentoring toward Ph.D.s) seminar. Vova transferred to the University Of Southern California in the fall and maintained a 4.0 GPA as he finished his first semester as a junior at USC majoring in Computer Engineering and Computer Science.
      Vova's efforts in the field of computer science resulted in having his own High Intensity Interval Training software for Mac featured on Apple's website.
      Although Vova has considerably scaled down his media features and performing schedule in the past year, he maintained his strict juggling practice schedule. He is currently planning his return to the performing scene, so watch out for him in 2010.
