Direction:Atmosphere-Ionosphere Physics
Position:Associate Professor
In 1979 he finished faculty of physics at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, with speciality – physical hydrodynamic. He finished his PhD thesis in the field of linear and nonlinear internal gravity waves in the Earth atmosphere and their influence on the nightglow. He has been explorer of Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory since 1979: in 1979-1982 -assistance researcher, in 1983-1992 – junior scientist researcher, in 1992-2007 – senior scientist researcher, since 2007 -researcher. Main field of investigation: atmospheric gravity waves and their influence on atmosphere and ionosphere layers, ionospheric sporadic structures, influence of atmospheric waves on the behavior luminous layers, long-term trends of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere parameters, influence of cosmic factors on cloud covering and its consequence on regional and global climate changes. He is working group member of International Scientific Programms PSMOS (2000-2003 years), CAWSES2 (2009-20013 years) and VarSITI (since 2014 – 2019) and PRESTO (since 2020). Since 2017 representative of Georgia in SCOSTEP. He is board member of the VAO project organized by the German Aerospace Center. Since 2007 associate professor of Ilia State University in the direction of atmosphere-ionosphere physics and head of atmosphere and space physics research group.
