Scientific interests.

Quantum mechanics, theory of condensed matter, surfaces and interfaces.
Computing: graphics and scientific visualisation.

Current work.

Molecular dynamics simulation of melting and evaporation of ionic crystals (LaF3 - lanthanum trifluorude). You can see several raytraced images and cool movie of this simulation, or you can look at the talk "Visualization of Molecular Dynamics Simulations" which was presented at Eurographics UK 96 chapter.
Density functional calculations of electronic structure of perfect ZnO crystal.

Some visualisation projects.

Movement of quantum wave packets.
The hydrogen wave functions table.
Wave functions of surface excitons.
Fermi surface of fullerene (C60).
Brillouin zones of several crystal structures.

My gallery

Still images.
MPEG movies.
Collection of polyhedra in VRML format. It is big (about 350 species now) and expanding.
VRML Corner with some wired mathematical surfaces.
Java Corner with some funny stuff.

My public software

POVTextureEditor, texture editor for povray (my first usefull program, written in Java).
HyperProf - Java profiler and hyperbolical browser.
