Ilia Solov'yov

I am a researcher with a strong foundation in theoretical and computational physics and biophysics. My research spans the theory of biomolecules and advanced inorganic materials, focusing on biological processes driving energy conversion for chemical transformations, particularly those with quantum mechanical aspects. This includes chemical reactions, light absorption, excitation energy transfer, electrons, and protons. One of my main focusses has been to use computational methods to understand animal magnetoreception on an atomic/molecular scale inapproachable by light- or electronmicroscopy. I am also intrigued by nanophysics, focusing on applications in nanotechnology, materials science, and medicine. My methods include classical and quantum molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, and multiscale techniques, often requiring high-performance computing resources and the development of specialized tools.
