Research and Teaching Interests |
Founded and developed two new research fields: 1.) "Radiation of quantum systems interacting simultaneously with an intense quasi monochromatic electric field. (e.g. with a laser or microwave field) and plasma medium". 2) AQuantum chase. Conducted research based on 5 areas of expertise: nonlinear optics and spectroscopy of plasmas, laser physics, nonlinear dynamics, fundamentals of quantum mechanics, and economical physics. Developed new analytical methods of quantum mechanics, Developed novel methods of lasing in the x-ray, ultraviolet and microwave ranges, Implemented these methods in collaborative projects with various American, French, German, and Russian centers and/or universities. Published pioneering works on quantum systems stochastic in the classic limit. Published 3 monographs (the latest one in 2006) Author of the only one book in the literature on nonlinear optics and spectroscopy of plasmas. Attracted to Auburn and organized as the Chairman/Co-Chairman two prestigious International conferences (this is another high international recognition of research achievements. During the last 15 years won grants/contracts from various agencies of the US Department of Defense and of US Department of Energy VALUED AT ABOUT 1.4 MILLION DOLLARS. In 2006 won a 3-year grant from the US Department of Energy (jointly with the junior faculty Allen Landers) starting in October 2006 VALUED AT 450K . Practical applications cover the following areas: Founded and developed two new research fields: 1) "Radiation of quantum systems interacting simultaneously with an intense quasimonochromatic electric field (e.g., with a laser or microwave field) and a plasma medium"; 2) Quantum chaos.
