Project Leader, Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Munster, Germany

Alexander Chervanyov is a project leader in the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Munster, Germany. He currently works on theoretical modeling of thermodynamic, mechanical and electrical properties of selected polymer-based nanocomposites. Alexander obtained his PhD from Kharkov National University, and subsequently worked in Pittsburgh University (2002-2003) and the University of Virginia (2003-2005) as a research associate. After moving to Germany, Alexander worked in Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden, where he has held the positions of guest scientist (2005-2007), staff scientist (2007-2011), and senior scientist (2011-2014). In the recent years, Alexander has been working on the theoretical description of effective interactions between nano-fillers mediated by different polymer systems and their effect on properties of these systems.
