Maxim Olchanyi

Dr. Maxim Olchanyi (Olshanii) is Professor of Physics at UMass Boston, specializing in quantum integrable systems and soliton dynamics. His research develops exact solutions for quantum many-body problems using Bethe ansatz methods and reflection group symmetries, with applications to cold atom physics.

Notable contributions include quantum anomaly discoveries in low-dimensional gases and soliton coherence studies in BECs. He received the Chancellor's Award for Distinguished Scholarship in 2017 and authored 'Back-of-the-Envelope Quantum Mechanics'.
