**Meet the editor**

Dr Sergiy F. Lyagushyn was born in 1955 in Dnipropetrovs'k (Ukraine, USSR). He graduated from the Physical Department of the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1978. He studied and worked at the Quantum Statistics and Field Theory Division headed by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov. He finished his post-graduate courses in Moscow State University in 1988 (supervisor

– Prof. N.N. Bogolyubov (Jr.)). He has worked in Dnipropetrovs'k since 1988. He dealt with problems of rocket thrusters and space power supply in Experimental Design Office "Foton". He published a number of papers devoted to renewable power sources, diffraction optical elements, and space solar power. Dr Lyagushyn has served as a member of two committees of the International Astronautical Federation in 1990s. Since 1992 he has been an Associate Professor at the Quantum Macrophysics Division of Dnipropetrovs'k University (now – Theoretical Physics Division), and from 1994-2007 was the Deputy Dean of the Physics Department. His present sphere of scientific interests includes nonequilibrium statistical physics and quantum optics. His main publications in this field were in Physica A, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, Journal of Dnipropetrovs'k National University (Physics & Radioelectronics series).
