Document:
Dr. Chernyak received his PhD in Physics from Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) in 1996. He spent one year (1996-1997) as a Research Associate in the Departments of Electrical Engineering at Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado, USA) and Texas Tech University (Lubbock, Texas, USA). He joined UCF in 1999 where he is a Professor.
