Dmitry started his research at Belgorod State University (BSU) in 2008 studying grain boundary segregation of C,N,O, Fe impurities and precipitation of Ti-C phases in hcp titanium using DFT methods. In 2014 he defended his Candidate of Sciences degree in Physics and Mathematics. During 2013-2014 Dmitry worked at Max-Planck-Institute for Iron Research (MPIE), Düsseldorf, with T. Hickel and Prof. J. Neugebauer.
At Skoltech, Dmitry studies and designs new inorganic materials for cathodes of secondary metal-ion batteries (Li-ion, Na-ion, K-ion, Li-air) using computational methods. He leads development of special software SIMAN
for high-throughput DFT calculations.
If you are interested in computational materials science and would like to work in my group during your Master or PhD study at Skoltech please send me your CV . My group is yet small, which gives you more opportunities to learn from your supervisor, while being immersed in CEST and Skoltech community.
Available projects for students:
Current projects:
