Catalin M. Ticoş, PhD, Head of the laboratory |
|
Catalin Ticos is a senior scientist and the head of the Accelerators Laboratory at INFLPR. His research interests are in plasma physics, the generation and use of charged particle beams including charged dust particles and nonlinear dynamics of diode lasers. He graduated from the University of Bucharest with a B.S. in physics in 1995 and a M.S. in 1996. He then went to the US to obtain his PhD in physics in 2002 from the University of Miami, Florida for a thesis about the control and synchronization of chaos in gas discharges. As a postdoctoral researcher he did research in plasma physics for two years at the University of Oxford in UK and for three years at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. CV Publications
