A. Kiv

Arnold E. Kiv received the D.Sc. (Dr. Hab.) degree in solid-state physics from the Institute of Physics, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia, in 1978. From 1964 to 1982, he was a Senior Researcher and the Head of the Laboratory of Radiation Effects with the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Academy of Sciences, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. From 1983 to 1998, he was the Head of the Department of Theoretical Physics, South-Ukrainian National Pedagogical University, Odessa, Ukraine. In 1997, he was an Invited Professor with The University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada. From 1999 to the present, he has been a Professor–Researcher with the Department of Materials Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel. In 1996 and 2011, he was the Codirector of NATO Advanced Research Workshops and an Editor of two NATO Series books. He has about 200 publications, three monographs, and three invention certificates in the field of radiation effects in solid-state electronics. His research interests include mechanisms of formation of radiation defects in solids, interaction of fast particles with materials, and radiation methods in microelectronics, including computer simulation, analytical calculations, and experimental studies.
