Jaroslav Ilnytskyi’s 50th birthday
On October 7, 2013 a renowned Ukrainian physicist working in
the field of soft matter physics, a member of the Editorial Board
of “Condensed Matter Physics”, Leading Researcher of the Insti-
tute for CondensedMatter Physics, Doctor of Science in physics and
mathematics Jaroslav Ilnytskyi celebrates his 50th birthday.
Jaroslav Ilnytskyi was born in Lviv to the family of Ukrainian
intellectuals, Luiza andMykola Ilnytskyi. His mother is a scholar in
the field of library science, bibliography and book studies whereas
his father is a prominent literary scholar, critic, poet and transla-
tor. Perhaps it is a family atmosphere which defined science and
arts as two main passions of Jaroslav’s life. In 1985 he graduated
from the department of physics of the Ivan Franko State Univer-
sity in Lviv (receiving a diploma in physics as well as being one of
the active members of student chamber orchestra where he played
the violin and the recorder). In 1994, upon postgraduate studies
at the Lviv division of the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the
Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, he defended the PhD thesis en-
titled “Collective variables method and the "-expansion” (super-
vised by I. Yukhnovskii and M. Kozlovskii), in 2010 he defended the doctoral thesis (habilitation) “Phase
transformations in polymers and liquid crystals: computer modelling on various length- and timescales”.
Jaroslav’s scientific life-story is tightly connected with the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics of the
National Acad. Sci. of Ukraine,where he started his career as a junior researcher and nowholds a position
of the leading researcher, being indeed one of the leading scientists in this institution.
His fields of activity concern self-assembly of liquid crystal macromolecules, photo-active liquid crys-
tal elastomers, equilibrium and non-equlibrium properties of mixtures in nanopores, mesoscale simula-
tions of liquid crystals. His early studies were devoted to the theoretical analysis of criticality in classical
spin models within the collective variable method and the field theoretical renormalization group tech-
nique. Subsequently he mastered the skills of numerical simulations by making use of his firm analytical
background. Such a combination appeared to be very efficient and defined his future scientific prefer-
ences and style of work. In best traditions of academic research, he carried on long-term collaborations
with several world leading scientific centres, such as University of Durham (group of M.R. Wilson, Dept.
of Chemistry) where he worked on computer simulations of liquid crystals developing parallel MD and
MC software, and studied polymeric liquid crystal systems; Potsdam University (group of D. Neher, Dept.
of Physics) where he studied photo-induced deformations in azobenzene-containing liquid crystal poly-
mers; University of Lorraine, Nancy (group of B. Berche) where he collaborated on impact of structural
disorder on criticality. Numerous collaboration grants also include his joint research with M. Saphian-
nikova (Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, Dresden), Stefan Sokolowski and his colleagues (Maria
Curie-Sklodowska University, Lublin), Orest Pizio (National University of Mexico), etc. Besides that, he
tightly collaborated with physicists and chemists of his alma mater — Ivan Franko National University of
Lviv and of the Lviv Polytechnic National University, where he is teaching as a Professor of the Depart-
ment of applied mathematics.
The above story would be incomplete if we did not mention another Jaroslav’s passion — his love of
arts. Being trained at the school age as a violin player and having mastered several other musical instru-
ments Jaroslav performed music permanently — either in Lviv or during his long-term stays in UK and

Germany. Now he enjoys performing Baroque music with various groups, as well as playing improvised
music in ensemble ”Riasni Drova Consort”. Recently, his friends were pleased to read his poems and short
stories published in Ukrainian literarymagazines. Film-based black-and-white photography, exotic string
instruments assembling also belong to things he likes to do.
Always ready to help and to share his knowledge, open to discussions, encouraging and attentive,
devoted family man and a good friend to many of us — we congratulate Jaroslav on the occasion of the
jubilee. May his two passions, science and arts, continue to lead him on his way to wisdom and beauty.
