Scientific activities (History)
The main directions of scientific activities of Boris Grinyov are such as: the fundamental properties of scintillation materials studying, searching for new scintillators, instruments and devices developing based on new scintillators for applications in various fields. . B. Grinyov's works to a large extent, determine the level of modern world technologies for the production and processing of scintillation and luminescent materials.
Research conducted by B. Grinyov enabled to develop industrial automated technology of growing the large highly transparent optical crystal with a diameter up to 600 mm, ideal scintillation single crystals of up to 520 mm in diameter and weighing more than 500 kg. For the high-energy physics experiments the production technology of plastic scintillators were developed with weighing up to 1,000 kg with a high bulk transparency (up to 4 m), scintillator plates of up to 3.7 m, unique scintillation strips and combined complex shape detectors.
On the initiative and under the direction of B. Grinyov the production of very pure single crystals of salts was organized in Ukraine. And this production provided a stable export of high technology products such as scintillators based on alkali metal halides. He also directs the research which purpose is to search for new scintillation materials for experiments to search for "dark matter" and the double β-decay.
In recent years under the B. Grinyov's direction there were invented a number of new scintillator materials, which can find its application in the basis of new experiments in high-energy physics.
Given the intensification of the fight against international terrorism and the unauthorized movement of radioactive materials and goods, extreme urgency acquire developed a new organic and inorganic scintillators and processes for their preparation. Custom introscopic systems and installations which the European Union are producing now are equipped by Ukrainian scintillators.
Thanks to B. Grinyov's scientific research in Ukraine in the 2000s was founded the such new direction of Instrument engineering as production of nuclear medical equipment.
In the period of 1997-2003 and from 2010 to present time B. Grinyov is Plenipotentiary Representative of Ukraine in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. In 2008 he was elected a Member of the JINR Scientific Council.
Since 2007 he has been the Head of Department of Crystal Physics at Kharkiv National University.
There was developed the unique growing technology by which scientists obtained optically homogeneous single crystals with record luminous yield parameters for electromagnetic new generation colorimeters used in the Super Collider LHC, CERN (Switzerland).
B.Grinyov included in the 30 most cited scientists in Ukraine (according to the Scopus , Google Score ).
Scientific works
Professor B.V. Grinyov actively engaged in scientific and pedagogical activity.
Since 2007 he has been the Head of Department of Crystal Physics at Kharkiv National University.
He published 7 scientific manuals, textbooks for high school: "High algebra" (2003) (ISBN 978-966-8319-91-4); "Vector algebra" (2003) (ISBN 978-966-8319-90-7); "Analytic geometry" (2003) (ISBN 978-966-8319-92-1).

Interests
One of the main Boris Grinyov's hobbies is collection of works of Ukrainian art. Boris Grinyov collection includes 15 well-known collections "Modern Art of Ukraine".
In 2004 in connection with the 150th anniversary of the famous artist S.I. Vasilkivskiy the action "On Vasilkivskiy ways: a look through the ages" was organized. The purpose of the action was to reproduce after 100 years the sights of the church and folk art, characteristic landscapes created in the time this master. For this purpose, it has been investigated S.I. Vasilkivskiy "geography" trips as works that are in the collection of the Kharkiv Art Museum, and in the pre-war documents that recorded the lost works of the artist (about 700).
Under the editorship of B.V. Grinyov was compiled reference book "The signatures and monograms of artists of Ukraine", which has been reprinted three times. The reference book contains a brief biographical information on contemporary Ukrainian artists and samples of their signatures. Ordering of such material is widely used throughout the world, and its necessity has been long overdue in Ukraine.
