George Kitis, is a Professor, Nuclear Physics and Elementary Particle Physics Department, School of Physics, Faculty of Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He completed his PhD in "Contribution to Thermoluminescence and regenerated thermoluminescence as a function of irradiation temperature from Aristotle University of Thesaloniki in1988. He has more than 300 research publications in international peer reviewed journals, more than 5288 cited author references, h-index of 35, i10 index of 123 on Google scholar. He has authored a book: Numerical and practical exercises in Thermoluminescence, Springer, 2006. His research areas are Theoretical and simulation studies on the basic mechanism of Thermoluminescence (TL), optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL); Kinetic and dosimetric characterization of new materials for use as radiation dosimeters; Investigation of new single peak models for all stimulated luminescence modes; Investigation towards the generalization of computerized curve deconvolution analysis for all stimulated luminescence modes; Neutron dosimeter; Research on TL and OSL dating and authentication of ancient ceramics and artefacts; Kinetic and dosimetric characterization of natural materials for use in geochronology and retrospective dosimetry; Post sterilization dosimetry of irradiation sterilized foods and drugs; Correlation between the various stimulated luminescence modes; Simulation studies on TL, OSL and IRSL effects. Prof Kitis has supervised and co-supervised more than 100 graduate students diploma works. A great part of them was original work published in peer review journals. 7 students finished PhDs under his supervision and 4 are in progress. He is a Member of the editorial board of Nuclear Instrument Methods Section B, Reviewer in high rate international journals: Applied Radiation and Isotopes, Journal of Luminescence, Nuclear Instrument Methods Section A, Nuclear Instrument Methods Section B, Physica Status Solidi (a), Radiation Measurements and a lower rate international journals: J. Physics D: Applied Physics, Journal of Material Science, Acta physisca Polonica, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, Mediteranean Archaeol gy and Archaeometry, Radiation effects and defects in Solids, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Physica B, The Journal of Biological and Chemical Luminescence, IEEE on nuclear science, Optical Society of America OSA, Modern Physics Letters (MPLB), Phase Transition, taylor and francis, Journal of Taiban University for Science, Radiation Protection Dosimetry) See less
