The Russian invasion of Ukraine impacted science in both countries substantially, prompting the Weizmann Institute to offer 25 student-scientists the opportunity to continue their work in Israel. Through their stories, we see the resilience, tenacity, and national pride of the Ukrainian people.
Illia Bilinskyi arrived on campus shortly after the war erupted in early 2022. Having earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in physics at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Illia now works in Prof. Alexander Milov’s Heavy Ion Physics Lab. Prof. Milov’s group focuses on one of the most exciting physics discoveries of the last decade, a newly-identified state of matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) – the material that existed when the universe was formed.
