28 February 2025 — Our guest speaker next week will be Professor David Svintradze from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Dr. Svintradze completed his education at Tbilisi State University, graduating in 2003 and earning a PhD in physics and mathematics in 2006. Before becoming a Fulbright Scholar in Residence and Professor of Biophysics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, he held visiting scientist positions at prestigious theoretical institutions, including the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in 2018, and the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, as an Erasmus+ Visiting Professor in 2024. His research focuses on innovative physics informed by biological processes, utilizing differential geometry. His notable achievements include resolving the Young-Laplace, Kelvin, and Gibbs-Thomson problems, proposing manifold solutions to the Navier-Stokes incompressible equations, and advancing general relativity using calculus for moving surfaces.
