Alexander Figotin

Alexander Figotin received his Ph.D. degree in mathematics from Tashkent State University, Tashkent, U.S.S.R. in 1980. He is currently a Professor with the Department of Mathematics, University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA. His area of expertise includes the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory, the theory of traveling wave tubes and other vacuum electronics devices, wave propagation in periodic and random media, the theory of linear and nonlinear photonic crystals, and the spectral theory of dispersive and dissipative dielectric and other media including exceptional points of degeneracy (EPDs). He has authored or coauthored more than 115 papers and three monographs: A. Figotin, "An Analytic Theory of Multi-stream Electron Beams in Traveling Wave Tubes" World Scientific, 2020; A. Babin and A. Figotin, "Neoclassical Theory of Electromagnetic Interactions", Springer, 2016; A.Pastur and A. Figotin, "Spectra of random and almost-periodic operators", Springer, 1992. Dr. Figotin current research focuses on the analytical theory of traveling tubes and other vacuum electronics devices.
