Biography

Dmitriy Chernov holds a Doctorate in Kinesiology (Exercise Physiology) and an MS in Nutritional Sciences, specializing in human metabolism, energy balance, and performance. His experience spans clinical settings, community health, and higher education across NYC, where he has worked as a human performance strategist, dietitian, and educator. Known for a visual, "make-it-click" teaching style shaped by TV commercials production, web development and graphic design, he turns complex mechanisms into clear analogies students remember.

Why This Website Exists

He developed this website to make learning science easier, clearer, and more visual for students. As both an instructor and a former student, he understands how overwhelming complex subjects can feel and wanted to create the kind of resource he wishes he had when learning them himself.

Drawing on experience in teaching, media production, web development, and graphic design, he turns difficult mechanisms into simpler explanations, memorable analogies, and practical learning tools.
