== 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. Grynyov'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. Grynyov'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 2022 B. Grynyov was 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 (quit since 2022). 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.Grynyov included in the 30 most cited scientists in Ukraine (according to the Scopus [1], Google Score [2]).
== Scientific works == Professor B.V. Grynyov 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). He is the initiator of the creation of a new scientific journal "Functional Materials" (print: ISSN 1027-5495); online: ISSN 2218-2993). There are 34 monographs, over 1400 scientific works, 178 inventions, some of which are patented abroad among B. Grynyov's scientific works. 8 PhD and 9 Doctoral Dissertation were made under his scientific supervision.
== Organizational, scientific and social activities == Member of European Association of Nuclear Medicine since 1997. Member of the US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers since 2000.

== Honors and awards == In 1996 Borys Grynyov was one of the recipients of the National Award of Ukraine in Science and Technology for “Development of technology for industrial production of large scintillation crystals for various applications”. He was conferred on title of Honored Scientist and Technician of Ukraine in 1998. He was awarded an Order of Merit of the third degree in 2006, and the second degree in 2009, and the first degree in 2013. In 2002 B. Grynyov was awarded Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers’ Charter. He was awarded The First Award of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in 2006. He received the G. V. Kurdyumov award of the NAS of Ukraine in 2004 and its V. I. Trefilov Award in 2009. In 2008 he was awarded the Honorary Doctorate of Science by Hanyang University (Seoul, South Korea) for his contribution in establishing scientific and technical cooperation between Ukraine and South Korea. B. Grynyov was awarded the Friendship order of Russian Federation in 2011 (returned). In 2016 he was awarded as Honorary Doctorate of Science of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (Kharkiv, Ukraine). In 2016 Borys Grynyov was one of the recipients of the Prize of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine for the development and implementation of innovative technologies for "Development and implementation of advanced technologies for creating sophisticated detector modules based on key high-tech components with aluminum switching systems for detecting particles in high energy physics experiments". In 2025 Borys Grynyov received the international prize "Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics"
