Professor, D.Sc.
MARIO VALENTINOV STOITSOV
1953 – †04.08.2011

Born in Blagoevgrad

Education

He studed physics in the Sofia University (1973 – 1978)

Ph.D. (1983) D. Sc. (1993)

Research

Prof. D.Sc. Mario Stoitsov was theorist in the field of physics of nuclear structure and applied mathematics

He developed (jointly with Prof. Ivan Petkov) method, which is widely used in theory of nucleus and nuclear reactions. The method is particularly useful in describing neutron "halo"

Professional experience

Prof. D.Sc. Mario Stoitsov worked as Research Fellow (1978–1982), Associate Professor (1983–1992) and Professor (1997) in the Laboratory of Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy - BAS

He worked at the Technical University of Munich, in the group for theory of the nucleus at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). He had successful cooperation with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)

Since 2006 Prof. Mario Stoitsov participate successfully in the international project UNEDF with about 50 physicists and computer scientists in the field of applied mathematics

Awards

He was a member of the American Physical Society (since 1996)
