Biography
I graduated from the Novosibirsk State University in 1977. My Ph.D. thesis was completed under the guidance of the world famous Academician Prof. S.K. Godunov and was dedicated to investigation of some initial-boundary value problems for the hyperbolic differential equations. After Ph.D. (1980) I was invited to work in the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Fields of interest Presently my scientific interests lie in investigating some mathematical problems of modern physics (Dirac equation, Yang–Mills equations, gauge fields, the gravitational field). Among others, my favorite mathematical tools are differential forms and Clifford Algebra.
