The Plenipotentiary representative of the Government of Mongolia in JINR from 2012 to present is Professor Suren Davaa.

Suren Davaa, Candidate of Sciences in Physics and Mathematics, Professor, Senior Officer at the Executive Office of the Nuclear Energy Commission of the Government of Mongolia, was born on 23 November 1953.

He graduated in 1976 with a degree in physics. He worked at Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in 1979 – 1986. Then in 1985, he defended his PhD thesis in JINR. He worked as a lecturer in 1986 – 1989. In 1989 – 1992 he was a head of University academic department, in 1992 – 2008 he was a first pro-rector and in 2009 – 2010 – rector of MonSU. Suren Davaa has worked as a director of the Nuclear Research Center at the National University of Mongolia in 1997 – 2016. Since 2016, he is Scientific Secretary of the Nuclear Research Center at the Mongolian State University. Since 2017 he is working as a senior officer at the Executive Office of the Nuclear Energy Commission, Government Mongolia.

Major scientific achievements

His main scientific projects are on the research of nuclei decay of lanthanides by nuclear orientation method. Spins of dozens level of the daughter nuclei and parameters of multipolarity mixing for cell transitions were identified unambiguously by measuring anisotropy of angular gamma-ray distribution between daughter nuclei levels.

Energy and Level structure of rotation bands and transient probabilities between these nuclei levels were calculated under the semi-microscopic quasi-partial phonon model for odd ytterbium nuclei, and a comparison with experimental data was also done.

Over the last years, Suren Davaa worked on nuclear energy infrastructure development in Mongolia. Over the past 20 years he significantly contributed to higher education reforms in Mongolia.

Suren Davaa about JINR:
JINR significantly contributes not only to the world science but also to electronics and accelerative and reactor technics development and to other high technologies. A range of generations of professional personnel from member states grew up in JINR.

The languages of international communication at JINR are Russian and English. However, one can hear the speech in many languages in Dubna, including the languages of JINR member-states when the countrymen, the representatives of the same expatriates’ community (the national groups of JINR), meet each other.

Being in constant contact with plenipotentiaries, embassies of member-states, JINR’s directorate and management services, they take part in the solution of the problems connected with the stay of their colleagues-countrymen and their families in Russia, with the organization of their life and leisure. The Council of the leaders of the national groups meets periodically. The representatives of the Directorate and the services of the Institute are invited to its meetings. The agenda includes the discussion of the urgent problems of the collaborators from the member-states. Due to this, the Directorate is able to make adequate decisions in time.

On the occasions of major public holidays of the member-states the national groups arrange receptions. These festive events are held accompanied by art exhibitions, photo exhibitions, and enrich JINR staff members’ knowledge about the member-states, their people and culture.
