Professor Kostya Trachenko

Research

Research Interests:

Theoretical and computational condensed matter physics

My research interests mostly lie in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics:

• fundamental theory of liquid and supercritical states of matter
• glass transition
• glasses
• high pressure
• radiation damage effects including in nuclear waste forms and fusion reactors
• links between field theory and condensed matter physics/statistical physics
• links between fundamental physical constants and system properties.

Here are representative publications in these areas.

This is discussed on my personal website in more detail.

I am a recipient of the EPSRC-CCP prize for "outstanding contributions to theory and modelling of condensed matter phases". Our work has been awarded the top 10 Physics Breakthroughs in 2020.

Highlights in news and media:

- Award of the top 10 Physics World Breakthroughs in 2020


- Upper bound on the speed of sound in the Economist, ("MaxMach" in the Economist print edition), Physics World, Science News, Sky News and Daily Mail
- Minimal quantum viscosity in Physics World and Cosmos Magazine
- Vacuum energy gets flexible - IoP news
- Slow bitumen flow in BBC Feature Article, New Scientist and Physics World. The video abstract is here.
- New understanding of supercritical state in Physics Today
- Phonon theory of liquid thermodynamics in Physics World
- IoP highlight story about the first glimpse into radiation damage processes inside a fusion reactor
