Candidate
of Physics and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor, Marina Vladimirovna FRONTASYEVA
is a graduate of the Department of theoretical and experimental nuclear
physics, physical faculty, Saratov State University. Since 1970 she has been
working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, first in the
Laboratory of Nuclear Problems and since 1977 in the Frank Laboratory of
Neutron Physics in the field of instrumental neutron activation analysis
(INAA). M.V. Frontasyeva is one of the founders of the radioanalytical complex
REGATA at the reactor IBR-2 designed for studies in the Life Sciences and
Material Science. Since 1997 she is the Head of
the Department of NAA at FLNP JINR combining her activities with lecturing on
nuclear methods for studying the environment at the Department of Chemistry of
the International University of Nature, Society and Man of Dubna. She is leader
of numerous international projects co-ordinated by the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA, Vienna) and by the European Union Frame Programmes. She is a holder of several
grants for environmental studies from the JINR member-states mostly connected
with studies on biomonitoring trace element deposition based on moss analysis.
The results of these investigations in Central
Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, as
well as in Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia, Croatia, Turkey
(European Thrace Region) are presented in the Atlas on Heavy Metal Atmospheric
Deposition in Europe edited under the auspices of the United Nations. She is a holder of
several First and Second Prizes awarded by JINR for the best investigations.
She gave courses of lectures at international Schools for Young Scientists in Dubna, China, Egypt, Mongolia and
Vietnam. Since 1994 M.V. Frontasyeva is a Scientific Secretary of the
Scientific Council on Applied Nuclear Physics of the Russian Academy of
Sciences. In 1997 she was elected to the International Committee on Activation
Analysis (ICAA). She was a member of the editorial board of the international
journal «The Science of the Total
Environment», and since 2005 – of the international «Journal of Nuclear and Radiation Physics». M.V. Frontasyeva is the
author and co-author of more that 300 scientific publications in refereed
journals, two books and two patents of Russian Federation.
