Ivan Novikov was graduated from the Department of Problems in Physics and Energetics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2013. Then he went to Institute of Numerical Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INM RAS) and successfully defended his PhD thesis related to mathematical modelling and numerical methods in March 2016.
Ivan has been working at Skoltech since May 2016. The main topic of his research is the development of machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) and algorithms for their fitting. He developed an algorithm for automated construction of the MLIPs allow one to accurately predict gas-phase chemical reaction rates. He participated in the investigation of 2D materials with MLIPs. Ivan Novikov is one of the developers of the open source codes MLIP-2 and MLIP-3.
Now Ivan is working on the development of MLIPs with magnetic degrees of freedom. He has already developed the magnetic functional form of MLIP for single-component materials and reproduced the properties of iron in different magnetic states. He is a PI of the RScF grant 22-73-10206 “Development of machine-learning interatomic potentials with magnetic degrees of freedom”.
