معرفی
Stiliana Savin is a Senior Lecturer in Physics and Astronomy and Director of the Physics and Astronomy Laboratory at Barnard College, Columbia University. She has been a faculty member at Barnard since 2004, teaching core courses and laboratories in mechanics and electricity and magnetism.
Education:
- BS, Sofia State University, Bulgaria
- MA, Temple University
- PhD, Temple University
Her academic focus is in experimental physics, particularly molecular spectroscopy and dynamics. Her research has involved high-precision laser spectroscopy of diatomic lithium molecules and state-resolved inelastic scattering experiments using supersonic molecular beams. She has extensively studied rotational energy transfer in small molecules such as CO when collided with noble gases and hydrogen.
The recent publications reflect a strong focus on quantum-state-resolved molecular interactions, particularly in gas-phase collision systems. Her work bridges physics and physical chemistry, emphasizing experimental techniques involving lasers and molecular beams to probe quantum mechanical behavior in real time.
