Ruvin Ferber graduated from the University of Latvia, Riga, in 1971, where after a
post-graduate course he received a PhD(Kandidat) in Physics in 1979 and then joined
the staff in the Department of Physics, where he is now a Full Professor. In 1994
he perfected at st. Petersburg State University, where in 1987 he received his
Dr. Hab. (Doctor of Science) in Physics. His research interests focus on the
theoretical and experimental studies of diatomic molecules, including laser
spectroscopy, angular momenta polarization, external field effects, collisions,
intramolecular interactions and perturbations. In 1992 he was awarded the "Hanle Prize"
by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

Marcis Auzinsh graduated from the University of Latvia in 1979 and joined Department
of Physics, where he is now a Full Professor, the head of the division of
Experimental Physics and the director of the Institute of Atomic Physics and
Spectroscopy. In 1986 he received his PhD from St. Petersburg state University and
his Dr.Phys. from the University of Latvia in 1993. Marcis Auzinsh perfected in
Beijing University, Peoples Republic of China in 1987-1988, at the University of
Western Ontario, Canada in 1991 and at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in
Bielefeld, Germany in 1997. His research interests focus on the theoretical and
experimental studies of diatomic molecules, including laser spectroscopy, angular
momenta polarization, external field effects, collisions, intramolecular interactions
and perturbations. In 1992 he was awarded the "Hanle Prize" by the Alexander von

Maris Tamanis graduated from the University of Latvia, Faculty of Physics and
Mathematics in 1973 (speciality Optics and Spectroscopy), then post-graduate
doctoral studies at University of Latvia in 1981 and received his Ph.D. (Candidate
of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Leningrad State University) in 1983. In
1996 he received Dr.hab.phys.degree (University of Latvia).
From 1992 M.Tamanis is leading researcher in ASI. Since graduating the University
of Latvia his scientific work was mostly devoted to experimental studies of magnetic,
electric and radiation properties of diatomic molecules in electronic excited states
and ground states as well. Alkali dimers K
2, Na
2, NaK, NaRb, RbCs and VI group
diatomics Se
2, Te
2 have been studied. Different laser
spectroscopy, molecule optical polarization and state interference methods
(Hanle effect, quantum beat spectroscopy) were used. Various molecular characteristics
(e.g. Lande factors, electric dipole moments, excited state lifetimes,
Λ - doubling constants, collisional relaxation rates) were measured.
M.Tamanis has performed investigations as visiting researcher in the Institute of
Physics (Warsaw, 1997, 1998), in the University of Connecticut (1999, 2001) and in
the University of Hannover (2002, 2003).
Dr. Tamanis has given selected lectures for students and have managed them for
B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree and was a supervisor (together with R.Ferber) of Ilze
Klincare managed for Ph. D. Presently he is a supervisor (together with R.Ferber)
of Olga Docenko managed for Ph. D.
He is a member of the Union of Latvian Scientists. In recognition of his work in
area of the Hanle effect was awarded the Alexander von Humbolt Foundation Hanle
Prize in 1992.
