Oleg Kontsevoi

Materials Design Engineer

Education

Ph.D. Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Institute of Solid State Chemistry of Russian Academy of Sciences, 1995

M.S. Physical Chemistry, Mendeleyev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, 1989

Current Role at QuesTek

Oleg Kontsevoi specializes in the design and computational materials modeling and ab initio calculations of thermodynamic and kinetic properties with density functional theory for predicting processing-structure-property relationships in materials design projects.

Background and Specialization

Oleg Kontsevoi an expert in the area of computational solid state physics and materials science, including predictive studies of mechanical properties, deformation and plasticity of materials, theory of point, linear, planar and extended defects in metals and alloys, structure, phase stability and thermodynamics of transition metals, intermetallics, steel and iron alloys based on first-principles electronic structure calculations. His studies focused on novel materials for high-temperature and structural applications on the basis of ab initio calculations and multi-scale modeling of mechanical and deformation properties.

Professional Associations

He is an active member of American Physical Society (APS), The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS), and Materials Research Society (MRS)
