Tzveta Apostolova

Tzveta Apostolova serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Telecommunications at New Bulgarian University's Faculty of Telecommunications and Computer Technology. Her academic role encompasses teaching core physics and telecommunications courses while leading theoretical research in laser-matter interactions.

Her research spans femtosecond laser physics, solid state physics, and biophysics, with emphasis on theoretical modeling of laser-induced phenomena in semiconductors and dielectrics. Key investigations include nanoplasm generation in atomic clusters, high harmonic generation in diamond, and non-equilibrium electron dynamics under intense irradiation. Her work bridges fundamental quantum kinetics with applications in nanofabrication, plasmonics, and inertial confinement fusion.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2000-2018) reveals dominant focus on ultrafast laser-semiconductor interactions, quantum kinetic modeling, and nonlinear optical phenomena. Recurring subfields include femtosecond pulse dynamics, electron-hole pair excitation, and high-harmonic generation in wide-bandgap materials, demonstrating consistent specialization in laser-driven solid-state processes.

Her teaching portfolio includes foundational courses such as Physics for Telecommunications, Fiber-Optic Communication Systems, and AI Systems, alongside advanced mathematics and optimization modules. Institutional involvement includes leadership in the DNTP/France 01/9/09.05.2017 project on nanoplasm generation and participation in COST Action MP1208 for inertial confinement fusion research.
