Role: Author
Andrii Sotnikov
Ph.D.
Description of the field of scientific research:
Andrii studies ultracold quantum gases, optical lattices, and universal quantum simulators. He also studies strongly correlated phases, magnetic phase transitions, Bose-Einstein condensation, and spin models. In addition, he is interested in the Hubbard model, tensor network theoretical approaches, and dynamical mean-field theory.
List of duties:
Andrii is a leading researcher at the National Science Center's Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology". Together with his research group, he theoretically investigates the physical properties of quantum many-particle systems, phase transitions and new unique states of matter that can be realized with ultracold quantum gases and the possibility of using them as universal quantum simulators.
Professional experience:
Andrii began his scientific career in 2006 when he started working as a junior researcher and graduate student at the National Science Center "Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology" in Kharkiv. In 2011, Andrii began to working as a researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, where he spent the next four years.
From 2014 to 2015, Andrii became a senior researcher at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. From 2015-2016, Andrii worked as a researcher at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Republic, and from 2016 to 2018, he was a researcher at the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics in Austria. From 2018 to 2020, he was a doctoral student at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology.
Since 2021, Andrii has been a leading researcher at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology and a professor at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
In addition, Andrii has been a reviewer of articles in international journals since 2015, an expert in the Lviv Researchers' System since 2019, and in 2020-2021 he was an external expert at the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia. Since 2020, Andrii has been a member of the Scientific Council on the problem of "Soft Matter Physics" problem.
