My name is Ruslan and I’m a fifth year graduate student at Virginia Tech. I explore the dynamics of non-equilibrium systems as they harbor unexpected and even novel physical phenomena. Discerning the right physics in these complex systems is a challenging task, and I use modern theoretical methods and computer simulations to approach it.

Currently, I am studying dynamical properties of inhomogeneous driven diffusive systems with attractive interactions, and investigating the depinning transition in magnetic skyrmions.
