Associate Professor of Physics
Dr. Chernatynskiy’s research interests are focused on the thermal transport in materials from both fundamental and practical standpoints. He applies computer simulations to elucidate these properties, in particular, having developed code PhonTS (phonts.mse.ufl.edu) that uses Boltzmann Transport Equation approach to compute thermal conductivity and related quantities. This code can use input from ab initio calculations to allow calculations of thermal conductivity from first principles.
Dr. Chernatynskiy’s specialization is Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Physics. His research interests include Computational Materials Science, Mechanical and Transport Properties of Materials, in particular Thermal Conductivity, Materials in Extreme Environments, including Nuclear Materials and Materials in Planetary Environments, Ab-initio Simulations Techniques, Molecular Dynamics Simulations, and Uncertainty Quantification.
Dr. Chernatynskiy was promoted to Associate Professor of Physics and granted tenure in September 2021.
