Dr. Andrii Natochii is a Research Staff member in the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Project at Brookhaven National Laboratory. His research focuses on accelerator physics and the development of computational methods and experimental technologies that enable the design, optimization, and reliable operation of modern particle accelerators and their associated scientific facilities.
His work integrates accelerator physics, detector instrumentation, and scientific computing to address challenges in beam dynamics, machine protection, beam-induced backgrounds, synchrotron radiation, and collider-detector interface design. His current research supports the development of the Electron-Ion Collider through the design of beam collimation systems, machine protection strategies, synchrotron radiation modeling, and detector integration. Prior to joining Brookhaven, he contributed to the Belle II experiment at SuperKEKB, the UA9 experiment at CERN, and detector development projects at IJCLab and the University of Hawai?i.
His research has contributed to the development of scientific software, beam instrumentation, and accelerator technologies that support the design, performance, and protection of next-generation collider facilities.
