Biography
Liguri Mosulishvili was born in 1933, in Arashenda village, Gurjaani Municipality, Georgia. He was trained as a physicist at the Tbilisi State University (1953–1958). In 1958 by the invitation Elephter Andronikashvili he has begun work as the junior researcher in Andronikashvili Institute of Physics.[1]
In 1968 Liguri Mosulishvili was the Candidate of Ph. D. in Physical and Mathematical Sciences (Experimental Physics) at Tbilisi State University, Georgia. He received his Ph.D. in Biophysics (Nuclear Physics and Biophysics), at Andronikashvili Institute of Physics of Tbilisi State University in 1985. His major research interests was Life Sciences, Ecology, Biophysics, Molecular biology, Neutron activation analysis and Experimental physics.
A small book of memoirs Episodes from life of physicists by Liguri Mosulishvili (edited by Miho Mosulishvili, which is the son of Liguri Mosulishvili's brother), was published in 2010.
