Department for Quantum Statistical Theory of Catalytic Processes


By Guest - Posted on 28 September 2010

Department for Quantum Statistical Theory of Catalytic ProcessesThe department was founded in 2002 in order to concentrate the efforts on a novel direction of the scientific research, i.e., investigation of the chemically reactive systems. The department maintains close collaboration with other structural units of the Institute as well as with scientific centers in Ukraine and abroad, where a similar research area is being developed. The department takes an active part in the applied researches, particularly – in the study of Chernobyl related problems. The staff of the department consists of 2 doctors (Ihor Mryglod and Oksana Patsagan), and 7 candidates of science (Natalya Pavlenko, Vasyl’ Ignatyuk, Taras Verkholyak, Viktoria Blavatska, Mykola Maksymenko, Josyp Humenyuk, Iryna Bzovska). The department also employs 1 young researcher (Viacheslav Kuporov).

The head of department – Corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Dr. Ihor Mryglod

The head of department – Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Dr. Ihor Mryglod

Doctor I.Mryglod is a head of the department since its origin. The range of his scientific interests includes: theory of liquids, non-equilibrium processes, phase transition theory, general methods in the statistical physics and computer simulations, investigation of chemically reactive systems. Dr. I. Mryglod is the author of more than 300 scientific works.
