Biography

Liguri Mosulishvili was born in 1933 in the village of Arashenda, Gurjaani Municipality, Georgia. He trained as a physicist at Tbilisi State University from 1953 to 1958. In 1958, at the invitation of Elephter Andronikashvili, he began working as a junior researcher at the Andronikashvili Institute of Physics.
In 1968, Mosulishvili earned his Candidate of Ph.D. in Physical and Mathematical Sciences at Tbilisi State University, Georgia. He received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the Andronikashvili Institute of Physics of Tbilisi State University in 1985. His major research interests included Life Sciences, Ecology, Biophysics, Molecular biology, Neutron activation analysis, and Experimental physics.
A small book of memoirs, Episodes from the Life of Physicists, by Liguri Mosulishvili, was published in 2010.
