Department for Computer Simulations of Many-Particle Systems


By Guest - Posted on 15 March 2010

Department for Computer Simulations of Many-Particle SystemsThe Department was set up in 2007 on the basis of the Department for theory of metals and alloys, headed during 1990-2004 by Prof. Z.O.Gurskii. Since 2007 during 2021 the Department has been headed by Prof. T.Bryk. Since 2021 the head of Dept. is Prof. J.Ilnytskyi. Today the staff of Department consists of 15 permanent researchers (A.Baumketner, T.Bryk, T.Demchuk, A.Duviryak, K.Haydukivska, Y.Humenyuk, V.Ignatyuk, J.Ilnytskyi, O.Kalyuzhnyi, I.Mryglod, O.Patsahan, T.Verkholyak,Yu.Yaremko, D.Yaremchuk), 1 engineer (O.Farenyuk) and 2 PhD students (M.Kopcha, I-M.Ilenkov ).

Research directions

  • Simulations of complex systems by molecular dynamics, dissipative particle dynamics and Monte Carlo methods;
  • Simulations of liquid metals, alloys, molten salts and molecular systems by ab initio molecular dynamics;
  • Computer simulations of liquid crystals;
  • Computer simulations of macromolecules and biological systems;
  • Theory of collective processes in disordered systems;
  • Physical chemistry of interfaces;
  • Analytical and simulation studies in relativistic physics.

 

Specific systems under study: liquid metals and alloys, molten salts, water, liquid crystals, macromolecules, proteins, glass systems, surfaces of solids, solid/liquid interfaces.
