Vahagn "Vahe" Gurzadyan (Armenian: Վահագն Գուրզադյան; born 21 November 1955) is an Armenian mathematical physicist and a professor and head of Cosmology Center at Yerevan Physics Institute, Yerevan , Armenia, best known for co-writing "Concentric circles in WMAP data may provide evidence of violent pre-Big-Bang activity"[1] paper with his colleague, Roger Penrose, and collaborating on Roger Penrose's recent book Cycles of Time.
Gurzadyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia (then Soviet Union), graduated from Yerevan State University (1977), was a postgraduate student in the theoretical physics department of the Lebedev Physics Institute at Moscow (1977–1980; 1980 PhD.), DSci in theoretical and mathematical physics (1988).
In 1989 he lectured on dynamical systems in four universities in Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Fukui), and subsequently held visiting positions at the University of Sussex (1996–1997) and, since 2001, at Sapienza University of Rome. His father Grigor Gurzadyan, an Armenian astronomer pioneered space-based astronomy using satellites. His grandfather Ashkharbek Kalantar was a Russian Empire and Armenian archaeologist and historian, Fellow of Russian Imperial Archaeological Society and the keeper of the Asiatic Museum in St. Petersburg.[2]
