Vladimir P. Gerdt (born January 21, 1947) is a Russian mathematician and a full professor at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) where he is the head of the Group of Algebraic and Quantum Computations. His research interests are concentrated in computer algebra, symbolic and algebraic computations, algebraic and numerical analysis of nonlinear differential equations, polynomial equations, applications to mathematics and physics, and quantum computation with over 210 published articles.[1]
Biography
Gerdt, who was born in Engels, earned his M.Sc. in theoretical physics from Saratov State University in 1971, his Ph.D. in theoretical and mathematical physics from JINR in 1976, and his D.Sc. in mathematics and computer science from JINR in 1992. He also did graduate studies in theoretical physics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University (1969-1971). After his M.Sc. he worked as an engineer-programmer (1971-1975) and as a junior researcher (1975-1977) at the JINR Department of Radiation Safety developing software for neutron spectroscopy. In 1977 he moved to the JINR Laboratory of Computing Techniques and Automation renamed in 2000 as Laboratory of Information Technologies for doing research in computer algebra. He worked as a researcher (1977-1980) and as a senior researcher (1980-1983), and since 1983 as the head of the research group on computer algebra, currently the Group of Algebraic and Quantum Computations.
Gerdt designed a number of original algorithms and software packages[2] for the investigation of differential equations as well as for the transformation of polynomial and differential systems into the canonical involutive form that alleviates their analysis and the construction of their solutions.[3] In the case of polynomial, differential, and difference systems their involutive form is a Gröbner basis.
Since its foundation in 1985, he is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Symbolic Computation,[4] the leading international journal specialized in the area of symbolic and algebraic computation. In 1997 he co-founded the annual international conference Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing with Ernst W. Mayr and since that time he has been a general chair of this conference. [5][6]
Gerdt is married to Evgenia Almazova and has two sons, Anton and Peter.[7]
