About
S. Nikiforov is a leading figure in space radiation research, whose work has been instrumental in characterizing the hazardous particle environment beyond low Earth orbit. His primary research focuses on the measurement and modeling of solar energetic particle events and galactic cosmic rays, with a particular emphasis on their effects during interplanetary transit and at Mars. A major contribution is his involvement with the Liulin-MO dosimeter, a key module of the Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND) aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). In his highly cited 2023 study, "Observation of the radiation environment and solar energetic particle events in Mars orbit in May 2018- June 2022," Nikiforov provided critical, long-term data on charged particle fluxes, dose rates, and dose equivalent estimations. This work, garnering 15 citations, offers an essential benchmark for understanding the radiation risks facing future crewed missions to the Red Planet, solidifying his reputation as a vital contributor to planetary radiation safety.
