David Svintradze

Professor in Biophysics

David Svintradze graduated from the Tbilisi State University in 2003, and received Ph.D. in physics and mathematics from the Tbilisi State University in 2006. Prior to joining the New Vision University as full professor of biophysics, he was researcher at the Tbilisi State University (2006-2008); short- term co-principal investigator at the Copernicus University (2007-2008); research associate, postdoctoral fellow and adjunct faculty at the Virginia Commonwealth University (2007-2012); assistant professor of biophysics at the Tbilisi State University (2012-2017); short term guest scientist at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (2018) and chair of biophysics and associate professor at the University of Georgia (2018-2021). Dr. Svintradze has received several national and international awards and honors, including presidential award for the best young scientist in Georgia 2005 and co-Chair of membrane dynamics section at Biophysical Society’s Annual Meeting 2017.

Dr. Svintradze serves as review editor in membrane physiology and membrane biophysics, which is subsection for Frontiers in Physiology, Frontiers in Physics and Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology. He is recognized for developing collagen-DNA complex models, deriving equations for moving manifolds and solving the Kelvin equation generalization problem.
