Department of Physics
History
The Department of Physics was established in 1946. It was headed by V. Kucher, Professor (PhD). The name of the Department has been changed many times during 1947-2007
1947-1959 – the Department of Physics and Meteorology
1959- 1960 the department of Physics and Advanced Calculus (Higher Mathematics)
1960-1963 – the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering
1963- 1987 – the Department of Physics
1987-1989 – the Department of Physics and Theoretical Mechanics
1989- 2007 – the Department of Physics
Since 2007 it is the Department of Physics and Engineering Mechanics
Now the Department is headed by S.Myahkota, doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor (PhD)

The subjects of scientific research of the Department of Physics and Engineering Mechanics are:
-research of physical characteristics of objects of organic and inorganic origin
-electronic and ionic (electron-ion) technology of pre-sowing processing and storage of agricultural production
-engineering problems of irregular geometrical shape objects
-synthesis and research of physical characteristics of semiconducting mono- and nanocrystals.
There is an agrometeorological station at the Department of Physics and Engineering Mechanics. Different atmospheric phenomena are observed here. The results of these observations are used in training process and scientific research of students.
