Short Bio:

Education: PhD & Habilitation in Physics as well as Eng. in Computer Science Research: Main scientific interests in the field of condensed matter physics, which cover theoretical, simulation, and experimental aspects, including (i) Methods formulated to compute properly and efficiently electric multipole interactions in molecular dynamics simulations of bulk and confined systems. (ii) Combined analyses of experimental data collected in different thermodynamic conditions from broadband dielectric and mechanical spectroscopies, standard and temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry, and pressure-volume-temperature measurements as well as molecular dynamics simulations, which are aimed at developing an universal theory of the glass transition and related phenomena. (iii) Equations of state formulated to properly describe and predict volumetric properties in the wide density range. (iv) Entropic models developed for supercooled liquids and glasses to properly clarify relationships between macro- and microscopic properties of glass-forming materials from various material classes in the entire thermodynamic space of pressure, temperature, and volume, drawing a special attention to the promising idea of the density scaling of molecular dynamics near the glass transition, which bears hallmarks of universality. Teaching: molecular dynamics simulations as well as databases, data warehouses, and business intelligence systems as an Oracle Academy instructor
