Senior Scientist | Palacký University Olomouc | Czech Republic
Dr. Ľuboš Krupa is a distinguished nuclear physicist with extensive expertise in heavy ion-induced nuclear reactions, synthesis and decay of superheavy elements, Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation, and gamma-spectroscopy. He earned his M.S. in Nuclear Physics from Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia, in 1989, and his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from the same university in 1999, with a thesis on new aspects of Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation. Dr. Krupa has held research and teaching positions at prestigious institutions, including Comenius University, the Slovak Academy of Sciences, JINR Dubna, and the Czech Technical University in Prague, and is currently a Research Scientist at the Faculty of Science, Palacký University Olomouc, leading the Olomouc group in the FAIR collaboration and contributing to the KM3Net neutrino telescope project. His research interests encompass nuclear reaction mechanisms, mass measurements of superheavy elements (Z = 112–118), multinucleon transfer reactions for neutron-rich nuclei, and experimental methods such as cryogenic gas stopping, multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and in-gas-jet laser ionization spectroscopy. Dr. Krupa’s research skills include advanced gamma-ray spectroscopy, heavy ion beam experiments, data analysis using CERN ROOT software, and coordinating large-scale international collaborations with facilities in Russia, Germany, USA, France, Belgium, Italy, and Finland. He has co-authored over 99 scientific documents with 985 citations and an h-index of 15, demonstrating high-impact contributions in nuclear physics. Throughout his career, he has received recognition for his scientific achievements and leadership in collaborative projects and has actively mentored young scientists, promoting global research exchange. Dr. Krupa is also a member of professional organizations in nuclear physics and continues to drive advancements in experimental nuclear science, contributing to the synthesis of new elements and the understanding of nuclear reaction dynamics, positioning him as a leading researcher in his field. 985 Citations | 99 Documents | 15 h-index.
