Sultana Nurun Nahar is a Bangladeshi American physicist. She is a research scientist in the Department of Astronomy at Ohio State University.[1]
Education and career
She completed her undergraduate education in Physics and M.Sc. in Theoretical Physics at the University of Dhaka, and earned an M.A. in Quantum Optics and Ph.D. in Atomic Theory at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.
She is an author of the textbook Atomic Astrophysics and Spectroscopy (Cambridge UP, 2011), along with Anil K. Pradha.
Research interests
She has published extensively on radiative and collisional atomic processes in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, including Photoionization, electron-ion recombination,[2] photo-excitations and de-excitations, and electron-ion scattering. She has also worked on dielectronic satellite lines, theoretical spectroscopy, and computational nanospectroscopy for biomedical applications.[3][4] She is a member of the international collaborations, "Opacity Project" and "Iron Project,"[5] to study radiative and collisional atomic processes and calculate accurate atomic parameters for astrophysically abundant atoms and ions.
