Menshykau, Dzianis

Research

Denis Menshykau works at the edge of theory and experiment designing quantitative, predictive models for various reaction-diffusion systems. In 2010 he joined Prof. Iber group, where together with experimental collaborators he is developing in silico model of lung brunching morphogenesis.

Backgroud

Denis graduated from Moscow State University, Department of Chemistry in 2007 following his earlier education in Belarus State University Lyceum. Title of Denis's doctoral theses is computational electrochemistry, which he wrote under the supervision of Prof. R.G. Compton, St John's College, University of Oxford.
