Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlija Dukovski is a research associate professor and senior biophysicist based in Newton, MA, with nine years of recent experience modeling and simulating complex biological systems and a longer career spanning computational physics and materials science. He combines deep expertise in systems biology, flux-balance metabolic modeling, PDE-based growth simulations and scientific software engineering (Java, C/C++, MATLAB, Python, Fortran) to drive projects like the COMETS microbial community simulator. Holder of over 40 patents, Ilija has a proven track record of translating multi-scale physical models into production-grade simulation codes and TCAD tools for semiconductors and photovoltaics. His work spans academia and industry—from predictive polymer crystallization simulations validated by experiment to first-principles mobility calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo device models—reflecting a rare blend of theoretical physics and practical software delivery. Comfortable across Linux and Windows environments, he also mentors junior scientists and maintains active code repositories, bringing rigorous numerical methods to biological and materials problems.
