Prior to joining MBZUAI, Professor Panov worked as a research scientist at DATADVANCE Company, where he participated in developing the library of data analysis methods for engineering applications. This library, pSeven, is now used by many companies worldwide, including Airbus, Porsche, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Limagrain. From 2018, Panov has been an assistant professor at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, where he led a statistical machine learning group. Since 2022, he has led an AI theory and algorithms group at the Technology Innovation Institute, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Professor Panov has been awarded funding from various governmental and private sources. He received the Moscow Government Award for Young Scientists 2018 and the Skoltech Faculty Excellence Award 2022. He also won the Best Paper Runner-up Award at the Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence 2023 conference. Professor Panov is an associate editor at the Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference.
