VCVolodymyr Chelnokov
Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany · academicVolodymyr Chelnokov is a Ukrainian theoretical physicist working on lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and strongly interacting matter. He earned a PhD in Theoretical Physics at the Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and holds a Master's in Applied Mathematics and Physics from MIPT (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology). He was a postdoctoral researcher at the INFN Gruppo Collegato di Cosenza / Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (2018-2020) and has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Goethe University Frankfurt since 2020, within CRC TR 211. As a school student he represented Ukraine at the 45th IMO in 2004 (Athens), winning a silver medal with 28/42 points.
