Brusilovsky studied applied mathematics and computer science at the Moscow State University. His doctoral advisor was Lev Nikolayevich Korolyov. He received postdoctoral training at University of Sussex, University of Trier, and Carnegie Mellon University under the guidance of Ben du Boulay, Gerhard Weber, and John Anderson. This research was supported by fellowships from Royal Society, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and James S. McDonnell Foundation. Since 2000 he worked as an assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information (formerly School of Information Sciences). He also served as founding associate editor-in-chief (2007–2012) and editor-in-chief (2013–2018) of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies. Brusilovsky is a recipient of NSF CAREER Award, SFI ETS Walton Visitor Award, and Fulbright-Nokia Distinguished Chair in Information and Communications Technologies.[11] He also holds an honoris causa degree from Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.[12]
Brusilovsky coined the term "explorable explanation"[13] for media that uses interactive models to communicate scientific ideas.
