Supervisor: Ivan Sergeichev
Svyatoslav has expertise in mathematics, physics, and computer sciences. His major interests are in the areas of micro/nano-study of fluids and in parallel computing for scientific applications.
Dr. Chugunov received his Ph.D. degree in 2012 from Mechanical Engineering department of North Dakota State University, USA, studying behavior of charged particles in hot and cold plasma systems with the help of massive parallel computing. In 2013-2014, he was working as a Post-Doctorate Research Associate at the University of Georgia, USA, developing a parallel numerical model of photon propagation in biological tissues. The model was based on Monte Carlo numerical technique and was simulated on a high-performance cloud-computing platform.
