Andriy Zhugayevych

Assistant Professor
Center for Energy Science and Technology

The field of research of Prof. Andriy Zhugayevych is computational materials science and theoretical physics/chemistry with particular emphasis on study of functional organic and inorganic semiconductors and nanostructures with applications to optoelectronics and energy conversion and storage.

At Skoltech he is coordinating Computational Materials Science Lab and Materials Science MSc education program.

Andriy Zhugayevych received his MSc in Physics from Kyiv State University and PhD in Solid State Physics from Institute of Physics (Kyiv), and for several years was teaching and doing research in theoretical and mathematical physics in these two institutions. In 2011 Zhugayevych obtained a postdoctoral position at Los Alamos National Laboratory focusing on computational materials science of organic semiconductors, and then joined Skoltech in 2014 to build capacity in materials modeling for newly established center for electrochemical energy storage.
