Petrosyan
Researcher, editor, and independent scholar working across historical memory, conflict systems, digital cartography, computational complexity, and source-aware data systems.
A research identity built around one problem: how truth survives inside complex systems. The site is structured as an intellectual map: memory, conflict, computation, and public evidence systems are treated as connected territories.

Research atlas
A personal institute organized as a map.
Ararat Petrosyan is an Armenian researcher and editor working across history, conflict dynamics, geopolitical systems, digital cartography, theoretical computer science, and research data infrastructure. His work connects historical memory with formal reasoning, combining archival interpretation, regional analysis, interactive mapping, source-aware data pipelines, and independent inquiry into computational complexity.
The visual language of this site follows the work itself: routes, borders, evidence points, archives, data signals, and formal structures. It is not a conventional landing page; it is a navigable research landscape.
Command center
The site is now a working system of research instruments.

TSP modelRoute Optimization Globe
A globe-based optimization room derived from the travelling-salesman project and redesigned as a research tool.
Conflict
South Caucasus security, Armenia and Azerbaijan, peace indices, terrorism indicators, ecological threats, and strategic pressure.
Computation
SAT, solution spaces, diagonalization, incompressibility, and the boundary between finding truth and verifying truth.
Systems
AI-assisted source triage, public-data pipelines, anomaly review, map interfaces, and reproducible research operations.
Map rooms
Four rooms, one intellectual geography.
The Memory Room
Greek Genocide mapping, Ottoman-Turkish historical space, massacres, displacement, and evidence organized through geography.
The Caucasus Room
Armenia, Azerbaijan, peace indicators, political terror, displacement, militarization, and the architecture of regional insecurity.
The Complexity Room
SAT, P versus NP, compressibility, self-reference, diagonal construction, and the formal difference between search and verification.
The Systems Room
AI-assisted extraction, public datasets, source ranking, anomaly review, reproducible pipelines, and interfaces that make complex evidence legible.
Evidence infrastructure
AI belongs here as disciplined research infrastructure.
The site uses the AI theme precisely: as a way to organize extraction, source triage, anomaly review, dataset normalization, and public interfaces for complex evidence. The intellectual center remains the source, the map, the argument, and the review trail.
Geocoded conflict-system records condensed into map-ready research layers.
UNHCR public statistics rendered as origin, asylum, and IDP layers.
USGS, NASA EONET, and GDACS records normalized into a risk atlas.
A reproducible local pipeline refreshes conflict, displacement, and disaster datasets.
