About
Valentyn Stadnytskyi is a highly
educated and experienced physicist
with a passion for research and
development. He earned his PhD in
Physics from Purdue University in
2017, where he specialized in the
field of biophysics. Prior to that, he
received his Master of Science in
Physics & Optical Science from
Taras Shevchenko National University
of Kyiv in 2011. After completing his
graduate studies, Valentyn worked as
an ORISE Fellow at the US Food and
Drug Administration, where he focused
on developing methods for measuring
air pollution and its health effects.
He then transitioned to a position as
a physicist at the FDA, where he
continued his work on air pollution
and also contributed to the
development of new technologies for
detecting and monitoring harmful
substances in food and drugs.
Valentyn's expertise in biophysics and
his interest in improving public
health led him to a research fellow
position at the National Institutes of
Health. There, he worked on projects
involving the use of optical
techniques to study biological
systems, with the goal of finding new
ways to diagnose and treat diseases.
Throughout his education and career,
Valentyn has published numerous
peer-reviewed articles and has
presented his research at various
conferences. He is a dedicated and
driven scientist, always seeking new
ways to apply his knowledge and skills
to make a positive impact in the
world.
