Luminescence

Vasilis Pagonis is professor emeritus of Physics at McDaniel College, USA. He is an internationally recognized expert in luminescence dosimetry, and he has published more than 130 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is the coauthor of four books: Classical Mechanics: A Computational Approach, With Examples in Python and Mathematica (Kulp and Pagonis, CRC Press 2020), Recent Advances in Physics and Applications of TL and OSL (eds. Chen and Pagonis, World Scientific 2019), Thermally and Optically Stimulated Luminescence: A Simulations Approach (Chen and Pagonis, Wiley 2012), and Practical and Numerical Exercises in Thermoluminescence (Pagonis, Kitis, and Furetta, Springer 2006).
