Alexander Grigoryevich Litwak ( Russian Александр Григорьевич Литвак ; born November 17, 1940 in Moscow ) is a Russian physicist and university professor .

Life

Litvak studied at the Faculty of Radiation Physics of the State University of Gorky with completion in 1962. Then he worked in 1956 founded Gorkier Research Institute of Radiation Physics (NIRFI) initially under the three-year postgraduate course at Mikhail Adolfowitsch Miller . In 1967 Litwak defended his candidate dissertation on some problems of the theory of nonlinear electromagnetic phenomena in plasma . In 1977 he defended his doctoral thesis on self-excitation and the interaction of electromagnetic waves in plasma.

In 1977 Litwak moved to the Gorkier Institute for Applied Physics (IPF) founded in 1976 as head of the laboratory for plasma theory and head of the department for plasma theory. He then became director of the department for plasma physics and high-performance electronics . Litwak developed, among other things, a theory of the self-focusing of electromagnetic waves in plasma. His various theoretical predictions were then confirmed through experiments. He developed the theory of electron cyclotron plasma heating . The gyrotron developed by Litwak and his group was used in radar technology , plasma physics, nuclear physics and nanotechnology . He is co-author of 24 articles with many authors.

Litwak has been a professor at the Gorkier Polytechnic Institute since 1978.

In 1992 Litwak and others founded the Gikom research industry association for the development and production of high-performance microwave ovens , of which he became Vice President.

In 2003 Litwak became director of the IPF of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN). In 2006 he became a real member of RAN and a member of the RAN Presidium. He is a member of the American Physical Society . He is the chairman of the RAN's Nizhny Novgorod Science Center. Since his retirement in 2015 he has been the scientific director of the IPF.
