Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Golovanov is a postdoctoral fellow and theoretical physicist with a PhD in Plasma Physics and over a decade of experience advancing laser–plasma acceleration and relativistic electronics. He blends deep analytic theory—work on the bubble regime of plasma accelerators—with production-grade, highly parallel C++ simulation codes (MPI/OpenMP) and Python-based data analysis for large datasets. At Weizmann Institute and in industry collaborations he runs large-scale simulations with FBPIC and Axiprop, applies genetic optimization to accelerator design, and links beamline and dose-deposition modeling to practical applications. Comfortable on supercomputers and in cross-disciplinary teams, he pairs rigorous first-principles modeling with hands-on software engineering to turn complex physics into reproducible computational experiments.
