Dr. Ihor Bulyk | Materials Science | Best Researcher Award
JiangXi University of Science and Technology | China
Dr. Ihor Bulyk is a distinguished materials scientist with a Ph.D. and Doctor of Science degree from the Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. With over 80 peer-reviewed publications and 16 patents, his research primarily focuses on hydrogen treatment of materials, particularly permanent magnet alloys such as Nd-Fe-B, SmCo5, and Sm2Co17. His pioneering work involves the development of energy-efficient technologies to produce anisotropic nanostructured permanent magnets and nanocomposite magnets with exceptional magnetic properties at low cost. Dr. Bulyk has contributed to the understanding of hydrogen-induced phase transformations in rare earth and transition metal alloys, including the mechanisms of anisotropy during HDDR treatment, as well as low-temperature sintering methods for nanostructured ferromagnetic materials. His research spans the interaction of hydrogen with intermetallic compounds, hydrogen storage alloys, and metal hydride electrodes for nickel-metal hydride batteries. Currently, he leads investigations to optimize production parameters for high-coercivity magnets for applications in electric vehicles and wind energy, and to develop next-generation anisotropic nanocomposite magnets with superior energy products, remanence, and coercivity. Dr. Bulyk’s career reflects a sustained commitment to advancing magnetic materials science, integrating fundamental research with practical applications, and contributing significantly to the global understanding of ferromagnetic nanostructured materials.
