Dr. Dimitrov's received a B.S. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria and his Ph.D. in Statistical and Condensed Matter Physics from Kansas State University in 1997. From 1997-2000, Dr. Dimitrov was a post-doctoral research associate in the Theoretical Division, Statistical and Condensed Matter Physics Group, at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Dr. Dimitrov designed and implemented hybrid codes and algorithms, a combination of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics, for the solution of the Landau-Lifshitz spin equation of motion at finite temperatures. This lead to the first study of vortex lifetimes in layered magnets and the surface effects on the hysteresis curves of nanosized magnetic particles.

Dr. Dimitrov's experience in plasma physics includes his contribution to the OOPIC code on tunneling ionization. Results from this work were presented at three conferences, one of which was an invited talk, and published in a "Physics of Plasmas" paper. His current work at Tech-X Corporation includes physics research and software design and development on a number of current projects.

His research interests include computational and experimental electromagnetics, advanced particle acceleration techniques, satellite navigation systems, and high energy physics computing and instrumentation.
