معرفی
Dr. Laima Kitovienė is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy (ITPA), specializing in Atomic physics and related theoretical modeling. Her research focuses on advanced calculations of atomic structures, transition rates, and quantum interactions in heavy and lanthanide ions, contributing to applications in astrophysics (e.g., neutron star mergers) and superheavy elements. She employs methods like Multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Fock calculations to analyze electric dipole moments, hyperfine interactions, and energy level dynamics.
Her recent work involves spectroscopic data for neutron star mergers and theoretical investigations of phosphorus and lanthanide ions, published in journals such as Physical Review A, Physica Scripta, and The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. Collaborations include international teams at CERN and institutions in Sweden, Japan, and France.
Notable trends in her publications include interdisciplinary applications of atomic physics to astrophysical phenomena and quantum technology, with a focus on precision calculations for fundamental atomic properties. Her work supports astrophysical simulations of kilonovae and neutron star merger dynamics.
