The Department of Theoretical Physics includes 22 researchers: 9 researchers have D.Sc., 10 researchers have Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics and 1 Ph.D. in Natural Sciences. L.A. Pastur is Academician of the NAS of Ukraine.

The Department of Theoretical Physics was founded in 2003 by joining the Department of Theory of Electronic Properties of Solids, headed by D.Sc. in Physics and Mathematics, Professor, Ukraine State Award winner (1997) R.N. Gurzhi, and the Department of Quantum Theory and Nonlinear Dynamics of Macroscopic Systems, headed by D.Sc. in Physics and Mathematics, Professor, corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine, Ukraine State Award winner (1978, 2001), Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine A.M. Kosevich.

The first head of the Department was Academician of NAS of Ukraine L.A. Pastur.

From 2016 up to 2021 the head of the Department was Professor I.V. Krive.

Since 2021 the Department is headed by Doctor of Sciences V.V. Slavin.
