Contributions

He has performed scientific research in many of the world's leading research centers: P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute (Lebedev Institute) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, Russia) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA), among others. In 1991 V. Stefan became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He is a founding member of the Stefan University (1989) to offer applied knowledge via quality, efficient, and inexpensive higher education worldwide, based on electronic learning systems. Stefan is a founder/series editor for several book series published by the Stefan University Press. Dr. V. Stefan is the inventor of the ultra short wavelength beat-wave driven free electron laser ; his current research is focused on laser neurophysics (neuroscience) and laser genomic medicine (human genome). V. Alexander Stefan is the author of Doctor Faustef - a novel about Doctor Faustef in search for human immortality. Doctor Faustef fights Lucifer the Devil; travels through time, meets the greats of but one human race; defeats Lucifer and achieves immortality.

Brief Biography

Early years

Serbia - Montenegro (Former Yugoslavia)

Stefan was born in Skopje, Macedonia (Former Yugoslavia) into a Serb family of intellectuals. V. Alexander Stefan was raised in the family of his grandfather (the father of his mother Rosanda) Stefan Radosavov Popovich - a prominent citizen of Podgorica, originally from Medun near Podgorica (Podgoritza), Montenegro. The Popovich family line gave a famous duke and poet of Montenegro/Serbia - [Marko Miljanov Popovich] (see also, Marko Miljanov Popovich). Stefan attended primary school in Podgorica, Montenegro and studied electrical engineering and physics in Belgrade, Serbia. In 1973 and henceforth, Stefan worked as a research scientist in the Boris Kidrich Institute for Nuclear Sciences in Vincha, Belgrade (Vincha-Vinča culture).

Russian Years (1977 - 1981)

In Moscow, Russia Stefan performed research in theoretical plasma physics in the department led by [Victor Pavlovich Silin] - the founder of Plasma Theory Division at Lebedev Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia.

His studies were in the area of Tokamak and laser thermonuclear fusion - latter one being a research project led by the pioneer in the laser fusion Nikolay Basov, Nobel Prize winner in physics (1964) with Charles Townes and Alexander Prokhorov for laser research.

In Russia he has made short term research visits (giving research talks) at:

[I. V. Kurchatov Institute , Moscow, Russia](Former Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy), Moscow, Russia.

Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg (Former Leningrad), Russia.

G. I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Akademgorodok,Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia.

University of Kiev, Kiev, Ukraine (Former Soviet Union)

University of Georgia, Tbilisi, Georgia (Former Soviet Union)

USA Years (1982 - Present)

After Russia Stefan moved to the United States in late 1981. In the States he performed research in physics in numerous prestigious American research centers:

Prior to 1989 (the year of founding of the Stefan University)

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts,

University of California Los Angeles, California,

University of California San Diego, California,

[General Atomics, San Diego, California]

[California Space Institute]

[JAYCOR,San Diego, California]

[Maxwell Laboratories, San Diego, California]

[S-Cubed, San Diego, California, (Merged Out)]

[Institute for Nonlinear Science, La Jolla, California]

[Krall Associates, Del Mar, California,]

Short term research visits (giving research talks) at:

[Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton University,Princeton, New Jersey]

[Institute for Fusion Studies, University of Texas, Austin, Texas.]

[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,Berkeley, California]

1989 - Present

Tesla Laboratories ([R&D Division of Stefan University)], La Jolla, California.

In La Jolla,California, whereby he settled, he worked, among others, with [Keith Allan Brueckner]- the founder of the Physics Department of the University of California, San Diego - on [laser fusion] and [heavy ion beam thermonuclear fusion] and with [Nicholas A. Krall] - the founder of the KRALL Associates, Del Mar, California, on Magnetic mirror Thermonuclear Fusion, [Bumpy Torus Thermonuclear Fusion], and [Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Thermonuclear Fusion.].

World Years (2001 - Present)

The establishment of divisions of the Stefan University International worldwide.

Stefan University International - Russia.

Stefan University International - Japan.

Stefan University International - China.
