معرفی
Professor Bucur Novac is a leading academic in pulsed power systems and plasma physics at Loughborough University, holding the title of Professor of Pulsed Power since 2011. He earned his MSc (1977) and PhD (1989) in Physics from the University of Bucharest, followed by a distinguished career in research and academia.
His research focuses on high-voltage engineering, electromagnetic pulse generation, and biomedical applications of pulsed electric fields (PEFs). Notable contributions include innovations in pulsed power systems, underwater discharge technology, and non-invasive cancer treatment methods using subnanosecond PEFs.
- Recipient of the Max Fowler Medal (2008), IEEE Sol Schneider Award (2016), and Academician A.I. Pavlovsky Prize (2016).
- Leadership roles: Chair of international conferences (e.g., IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference 2017) and Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Science Society.
- Editorial contributions: Guest Editor for IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Plasma Physics.
His work bridges theoretical and experimental advancements, with applications in military defense (IED neutralization), biomedical engineering, and energy-efficient systems.
