Biography
Alla S Safronova received her Ph.D. degree in atomic physics from the Institute of General Physics, Russian Academy of Science (RAS), Moscow in 1986. She joined University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) in 1994, where currently she is a Research Professor. She is one of the pioneers in the application of x-ray line polarization to astrophysical and laboratory plasmas and has published more than 220 papers on atomic and plasma physics. Her former PhD students are working at Sandia National Laboratories, Naval Research Laboratory, UNR and also abroad. She organized, chaired and co-chaired the series of International Workshops on Radiation from High Energy Density Plasmas (RHEDP 2011, 2013 and 2015) and the 10th International Conference on Dense Z-pinches (2017). Prof. Safronova was the Guest Editor of the Fifth Special Issue (2012) and now of the Seventh Special Issue (2018) on Z-Pinch Plasmas of the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science and of the Special Topic Section on RHEDP of Physics of Plasmas in 2014 and 2016.
