Milun Rakovic

Dr. Milun Rakovic is a Professor of Physics and Assistant Chair at the Department of Physics, Grand Valley State University, within the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Belgrade (1990) and extensive experience in theoretical physics.

• Education: Ph.D. (1990), M.S. (1986), B.S. (1980) from University of Belgrade

Research Interests focus on Theoretical Atomic Physics and Nonlinear Dynamics, with notable work on quantum mechanics of charged particles, cometary X-ray emission mechanisms, and integrable systems in hydrogenic models.

Publications span quantum-classical correspondence, polarization patterns in light scattering, and external field effects on atomic systems. His work bridges fundamental quantum mechanics with applied astrophysical phenomena.

Teaching covers advanced courses like Quantum Mechanics (PHY 450), Statistical Thermodynamics (PHY 360), and Einstein's legacy (PHY 303), alongside foundational physics sequences.
