Deputy Director of the V. P. Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).

In 1997, Dmitry V. Naumov graduated from the Faculty of Physics of Irkutsk State University with degrees in Radiophysics and Theoretical Physics. His diploma work, carried out at JINR, was titled “Nuclear transitions $^{16}\mathrm{OH} \to {}^{17}\mathrm{F}$ and effects of electron screening.”

In 2001, he defended his PhD dissertation on “Production of strange hadrons and measurement of lambda and anti-lambda hyperon polarization in neutrino interactions in the NOMAD experiment at CERN.”

In 2017, Dmitry V. Naumov received his Doctor of Sciences degree in Physics and Mathematics with the dissertation “Measurement of $\theta_{13}$, $\Delta m^2_{32}$ and a covariant quantum field theory of neutrino oscillations.”

He began his career at DLNP JINR in 1997 as a junior researcher. From 2002 to 2003 he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at LAPP, IN2P3 (France), and from 2004 to 2006 as a foreign research fellow at INFN (Italy). From 2006 to 2013 he headed a research sector at DLNP JINR, and from 2013 to 2023 served as Deputy Director for Research of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems.

Project participation:
Baikal-GVD, JUNO, Daya Bay, OPERA, NOMAD, EUSO / JEM-EUSO.
