Anatoly B. SchmidtDr. Anatoly.B. Schmidt holds M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Latvian

University, Riga. For more than 10 years, Dr. Schmidt was the lead

modeling scientist at the Latvian Center for Biological, Medical, and

Ecological Research. In the 90s, he as engaged for several years in

development of computational chemistry software and in its applications

to life sciences. His research interests include modeling "of

anything", from biological processes to financial markets. His major

fields of expertise are the statistical physics, in particular, the

theory of fluids, (poly)electrolytes and plasmas, the solvation theory

and its applications in biology, and, most recently, quantitative

finance. Dr. Schmidt is the author of the book "Statistical

thermodynamics of classical plasmas" (Energoatomizdat, Moscow, 1991),

and more than 40 publications in biophysics, statistical and chemical

physics, and econophysics. Dr. A.B. Schmidt has been a financial data

analyst since 1997. Read More Read Less
