Biography

1993 წელს დაამთავრა თბილისის სულხან საბა ორბელიანის სახელობის სახელმწიფო პედაგოგიური ინსტიტუტი ქიმიისა და ბიოლოგიის სპეციალობით. იმავე წელს ჩაირიცხა საქართველოს მეცნიერებათა აკადემიის, ზოოლოგიის ინსტიტუტის ასპირანტურაში. 1999 წელს დაიცვა დისერტაცია და გახდა ბიოლოგიის მეცნიერებათა კანდიდატი, ზოოლოგიის სპეციალობით. 1992-2009 წლებში მუშაობდა საქართველოს მეცნიერებათა აკადემიის ზოოლოგიის ინსტიტუტში უმცროსი და უფროსი მეცნიერ-თანამშრომლის პოზიციებსა და განყოფილების გამგის თანამდებობაზე. პარალელურად 2006-2010 წლებში ეკავა ასოცირებული პროფესორის აკადემიური პოზიცია სულეიმან დემირელის უნივერსიტეტში, აგრარულ ფაკულტეტზე (თურქეთი). 2012 წლიდან იგი იყო უხერხემლოთა კვლევის ცენტრის გამგეობის წევრი, ხოლო 2017 წლიდან არის ამავე ორგანიზაციის თავმჯდომარე. სხვადასხვა წლებში იმყოფებოდა ხანგრძლივ კვლევით მივლინებებში, ბრიტანეთის ბუნებისმეტყველების მუზეუმში (2003-2004, ლონდონი, დიდი ბრიტანეთი), კუიმპბრას უნივერსიტეტი (2004-2005, პორტუგალია), მადრიდის ბუნებისმეტყველების მუზეუმში (2009, ესპანეთი), მასაჩუსეტსის უნივერსიტეტი (2010, აშშ), კიუშუს უნივერსიტეტი (2013-2014, იაპონია). გარდა ამისა, მონაწილეობა აქვს მიღებული 25-ზე მეტ საერთაშორისო სამეცნიერო კონფერენციაში, ხოლო 2023 წლის ივლისში თავად გაუკეთა ორგანიზება მე-16 კოქციდოლოგთა საერთაშორისო სიმპოზიუმს. არის ავტორი 200-მდე სამეცნიერო ნაშრომის და 7 საერთაშორისო სამეცნიერო ჟურნალის რედკოლეგიის წევრი. 2013 წლიდან იგი არის საქართველოს აგრარული უნივერსიტეტის პროფესორი და ენტომოლოგიის ინსტიტუტის დირექტორი.

განათლება

1999 - დაიცვა საკანდიდატო დისერტაცია ზოოლოგიაში თემაზე: "თბილისის შემოგარენის კოქციდების, ალეიროდიდებისა და ფსილიდების პარაზიტული ქალციდები", დოქტორის აკადემიური ხარისხი
1993 - თბილისის სულხან საბა ორბელიანის სახელობის პედაგოგიური ინსტიტუტი
