Short Presentation :

I have about 10 years of professional scientific experience in the field of laser engineering and computer analysis of laser processes. During this period I completed a PhD degree with PhD Thesis, dedicated to the development of special tunable lasers (novel designs, computer simulations and experiment) with improved characteristics for excitation of sensing signals. The principal scope of my scientific and applied work is the solid-state lasers, including the diode pumped lasers, tunable lasers (Yb:YAG with diode pumping, Dye, Ti:Al2O3), elements and devices for laser spectral and temporal control. I am author and co-author of 54 scientific publications in scientific journals and in Proceedings of the conferences, including in refereed international journals (USA, West Europe - Opt.Commun., Rev.Sci.Instrum., Appl.Phys.Lett., Applied Optics, Proc. SPIE and articles in Proc.of Intern.Confer.). All papers are related with Quantum Electronics and especially with tunable lasers. I have worked as an invited visiting scientist 5 times (about 1 year in sum) in the University-CNAM, Paris and in the University of Paris-Nord, France on the problems of tunable lasers –Ti:Sapphire, diode-pumped Yb:YAG, also in computing aspects. My basic education is Electronics MSc., PhD. I have completed the second MSc. on Computer Sciences and engineering. Actually, I am Associated professor at the National Technical University - Sofia, branch Plovdiv in two specializations: principal half of my teaching activity is related with Laser Engineering and Communications for 3-th and 4-th year students at the NTU, and other half - with computer engineering for 2-nd and 3-rd year students.
