About
Dr. Jordanka Semkova is a leading space physicist whose research centers on space radiation dosimetry and the characterization of energetic particle environments in the inner solar system. Her major contributions involve the design, calibration, and operation of the Liulin-MO dosimeter, a key instrument aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) as part of the Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND) module. Through this work, she has provided critical, long-term measurements of the radiation environment at Mars, including charged particle fluxes, dose rates, and dose equivalent estimations. Her most cited paper (2023, 15 citations) presents a comprehensive analysis of solar energetic particle events and the ambient radiation field in Mars orbit from May 2018 to June 2022, offering essential data for understanding radiation hazards for future human exploration. Dr. Semkova’s findings are foundational for planetary science and astronaut safety, establishing her as a key figure in the study of space weather and its effects on spacecraft and crews.
