Valery Vasilevich Kozlov

Valery Vasilevich Kozlov (Валерий Васильевич Козлов, born 1 January 1950 in Ryazan Oblast) is a Russian mathematician and mathematical physicist.

Kozlov studied from 1967 at the Moscow State University with his undergraduate degree in 1972 and his Candidate of Sciences degree in 1974 under Andrei Kolmogorov with thesis Качественное исследование движения тяжёлого твёрдого тела в интегрируемых случаях (Qualitative study of the motion of a heavy rigid body in integrable cases).

[1] At Moscow State University he was a lecturer and assistant and completed in 1978 his Russian Doctor of Sciences degree (habilitation) in 1978 with thesis Вопросы качественного анализа в динамике твёрдого тела (Questions of qualitative analysis in the dynamics of a rigid body).

[2] Kozlov's research deals with theoretical and statistical mechanics and related mathematical areas such as the qualitative theory of differential equations and topological considerations in the integrability of dynamic systems.
