About Me
Hi! I’m Ilia, a theoretical physicist and software developer, based in Frankfurt am Main. I hold a PhD in physics from Goethe University Frankfurt, where I specialized in the study of heavy-ion collisions and the quark-gluon plasma. After 10 years of fundamental research, I bring a unique, structured and data-backed approach to complex technical and strategic challenges.
At school, I pursued my passion for physics and mathematics. Thereafter, I continued my education in physics at the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in Vladivostok, Russia, where I obtained both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees with highest distinction. During my studies, I focused on theoretical physics, numerical modeling, and Monte-Carlo simulations. My academic journey culminated in a doctoral degree in physics from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, where I graduated with magna cum laude. My research has been centered around the study of heavy-ion collisions and the quark-gluon plasma.
I'm passionate about...
Science and new technologies, particularly how fundamental scientific principles can be translated into real-world innovations, which can improve our everyday life.
