Novel Lights Sources Beyond Free Electron Lasers

Andrei V. Korol (Associate Professor in Physics since 1997) is an expert in theoretical atomic and cluster physics, many-body theory, physics of radiation, computational physics, software development. His current research interests cover many-body theory and its applications as well as computational physics and the modeling of complex systems. More specifically, his work focuses on the study of collisional processes involving charged projectiles, atoms, clusters and fullerenes; channeling phenomenon and radiative processes in media; the physics of undulators and free-electron lasers. He is the co-author of 9 monographs, a patent and over 170 referred publications in international journals and books of contributed papers. He also works as the referee for several scientific journals such as Physical Review A, Physical Review - Accelerators and Beams, Physical Review Letters, Journal of Physics A, B, G, European Journal of Physics D, Nuclear Instruments and Methods B.Andrey V. Solov'yov is Professor of theoretical physics and, currently, is the director of the MBN Research Center in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He is also visiting researcher at the School of Physical School of Physical Sciences, the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK, and correspondent member of the European Academy of Sciences, Arts and Literature. From 2010 till 2021 he was the elected President of the Virtual Institute of Nano Films in Brussels, Belgium. His research interests cover theoretical, atomic, molecular, chemical and computational physics as well as meso-bio-nanoscience and life and material sciences at their interface with physics. Over the years, he was the team leader and/or coordinator of a large number of research projects funded by the major research funding agencies in Germany, Russia, UK and EU. He has supervised the work of many Ph.D., master and bachelor students at different universities in Germany, Russia and UK. He has authored or co-authored 11 monographs, 6 edited books, 20 edited books of abstracts, 15 journal topical issues, 3 theses, a patent and over 400 journal articles and book chapters. He is editorial board member for the international Journal of Green Nanotechnology (IJGN): Physics and Chemistry; Springer's Cancer Nanotechnology; St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University Journal: Physics and Mathematics. During 2014-2021, he was the editor-in-chief for the European Physical Journal D: Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics. He also works as referee for many high-impact international scientific journals and as an expert for research funding organizations.
