Mikhail Povarnitsyn

Mikhail Povarnitsyn studied physics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, obtaining respective degree in 1996. He obtained a doctoral degree at the Joint Institute for High Temperatures RAS in 2001 with a thesis on Simulation of Vortex Structures in Convective Fluxes. Then, he continued his work at JIHT developing numerical codes for simulation of shock waves in multi-material multiphase flows. In 2006 he obtained a position at le Laboratoire Lasers Plasmas et Procedes Photoniques (Marseille, France), where he carried out postdoctoral research on the laser-matter interaction. In 2007, he joined the Laboratory for Wide-Range Equations of State at JIHT and worked at integration of his own code into Adaptive Mesh Refinement library Chombo. Currently, he leads 3D Hydrodynamic modeling of shock waves, MD simulation of the laser-matter interaction, and supervises PhD students.
