Valery Lyubovitsky

Assistant Researcher

Valery Lyubovitsky is a researcher at the Federico Santa Maria Technical University and the Scientific and Technological Center of Valparaiso (CCTVal). He is a theoretical particle and nuclear physicist, and experimental physicist in high energies, with a PhD from Tomsk State University (Russia) and another PhD from the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna, Russia).

He has worked as an academic at Tomsk State University, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Tuebingen (Germany) and, since 2017, at the Federico Santa Maria Technical University and CCTVal. He has been recognised with first place in the Tomsk Region Administration in Education and Science (1995), the JINR second prize in theoretical physics (1998) and outstanding referee of the American Physical Society (2019), as well as being recognised as an outstanding reviewer by the Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics (2016) and by the academic journal Symmetry (2021).

His lines of research and main contributions in physics relate to non-local quantum field theory methods for the evaluation of matrix elements involving bound states of quarks and gluon-hadrons and exotic states; the development of a Lorentz-covariant and gauge invariant field-theoretic manifold for the study of light, single, double and triple heavy baryons; the development of the QCD + QED framework for the study of hadronic atoms; the development of a quantum field approach for the study of hadronic molecules; and the development of AdS/QCD approximation for the study of mesons, baryons and exotic states.
