About
Borislav Gueorguiev Tomov is a space physicist specializing in planetary radiation environments and solar energetic particle events. His key research focuses on characterizing the radiation hazards faced by spacecraft and astronauts, particularly through the analysis of data from the Liulin-MO dosimeter aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). As part of the Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND) team, Tomov has made significant contributions to understanding the charged particle fluxes and dose rates in Mars orbit. His most-cited work, "Observation of the radiation environment and solar energetic particle events in Mars orbit in May 2018–June 2022" (2023, 15 citations), provides critical long-term measurements that inform both spacecraft design and future human exploration of Mars. By estimating dose equivalents from solar particle events, Tomov’s research directly supports the safety of interplanetary missions. His achievements include advancing real-time radiation monitoring in deep space, a vital capability for ESA’s ExoMars program. For students and researchers, Tomov’s work exemplifies how in-situ measurements can bridge the gap between space weather physics and practical mission planning.
