Educational Background:

October 1986 Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Science, Institute of Radio - Engineering Physics and Electronics,
Academy of Science of USSR, Moscow, Russia. USSR.
June 1973 Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Tbilisi State University, Georgia.
June 1962 Master's degree in Low-Temperature Physics, Tbilisi State University, Georgia.

Professional Experience:

Since September 1, 2007 Scientific Adviser of LAE
Since August 2006 Full professor at Institute of Physics of Tbilisi State University
1981- 2007

Transformed Young Scientists & Students Group in Laboratory of Applied Electrodynamics. Head of Laboratory of Applied Electrodynamics

1973 - end of USSR Laboratory of Applied Electrodynamics worked on military problems for the Defense Ministry, The Ministry of Defense Industry, Ministry of Electronic Industry, Ministry of Radio Industry, etc.
1973-1981 Head of Young Scientists and Students Group of Department of Physics, working on Applied Electrodynamics
1965-1982 Assistant Professor, Department of General Physics, Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia.
1962-1965 Radio-Engineer of Semiconductors Problem Laboratory, Department of Physics, Tbilisi State University, Georgia. Set up experiments for students in the laboratory and repaired the damaged electronic equipment.
Led Group in researching problems in diffraction and propagation of electromagnetic waves. Conceived, created and developed the efficient numerical Method of Auxiliary Sources for solving problems in applied electrodynamics. The method allows the solution of problems of diffraction on complex bodies, waveguides and resonators systems, and non-periodic transient waves.
Over twenty years of experience in research and contributions for the Defense Ministry of the former USSR. Specifically developing techniques for homing guidance and control of intercontinental ballistic and their flight paths.
Calculated the necessary characteristics for a crystal to be used in an antenna component of a space module for the Soviet Space Program. Then designed and created this crystal that was launched to the moon in 1967.
Advisor of more then twenty graduate Ph.D. students. Currently working with several graduate students on projects of applied electrodynamics.

1982-1986
