Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences); July  1984:  mathematician, from 1986 -- assistant professor in the  Faculty of  Matematics and Informatics of the University  of Sofia, Bulgaria.

Temporary appointments as a professor for specific mathematical courses (professore incaricato) in the years 2003, 2004 and  2005 for  Bachelor--level students in  Aerospace Engineering (Ingegneria Aerospaziale) of  Politecnico di Torino.

Ph.D.: 1981/84, Faculty of Mathematics, University of  Sofia and  Institut of  Mathematics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; the Ph.D. thesis - on asymptic methods  in the  microlocal singularities ($C^\infty $ and  the study of analytic--Gevrey singularities  of  solutions of linear PDEs.

Current research interests: problems in the realm of gloabl properties of
PDE and Dynamical Systems in Function Spaces with an emphasis on
the   development of suitable perturbative methods (both fixed point type and
KAM type) in scales of function spaces (of analytic, Gevrey,
finitely smooth functions, aniosotropic Gelfand--Shilov type spaces) using ideas and techniques from Microlocal Analysis (Pseudodifferential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators). Applications for  the study  of global properties of solutions of (pseudo)differential equations in $\R^n$ and on manifolds, in time--frequency analysis, 
nonlinear evolution PDEs, regularity and decay properties for eigenfunctions,
