Artem Dimitriev

Dr. Artem Dimitriev is a Postdoc (2023-present) at the Department of Physics, University of Basel, working on plasma-surface interactions and fusion diagnostics. Previously, he was a Researcher (2018-2023) and Junior Researcher at the High Temperature Plasma Lab, Ioffe Institute. His research focuses on experimental plasma physics, including mirror cleaning for fusion applications, plasma-surface interactions, and hydrogen isotope retention. He has contributed to projects like ITER diagnostics, plasma cleaning systems, and surface characterization techniques. His work involves collaborations on tokamak research, Thomson scattering diagnostics, and materials science for fusion reactors.

Notable contributions include studies on platinum vs rhodium for ITER mirrors, RF plasma cleaning systems, and surface modification under ion irradiation. His research also addresses challenges in maintaining optical components under extreme plasma conditions. Dimitriev holds a PhD from the Ioffe Institute (2014-2018) and a Master's in Experimental Nuclear Physics from Peter the Great Polytechnic University (2008-2014).
