Biographical note
Dr. V. Krasnoholovets was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. He graduated from a mathematical school, and then became a student of the Kyiv’s Taras Shevchenko National University, Department of Physics, Faculty of Theoretical Physics; he received a master’s degree in 1979. For next several years he worked as an experimentalist in the area of superconductivity at the Institute for Metal Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv. Since the end of 1981 and to now, he has been working at the Department of Theoretical Physics, Institute of Physics, Natl. Acad. Sci., Kyiv. A PhD thesis was defended in 1987; it was devoted to the study of a proton polaron model in compounds with hydrogen bonds including biological systems. At the Department, he focuses on condensed matter physics. Since 1993 he is a Senior Research Scientist. In the mid-1980s he also began to take an interest in the foundations of physics. The first paper in this field was published in 1993. In 1998-2003 Dr. Krasnoholovets actively worked with one of the classical French mathematicians, Prof. Michel Bounias (who passed away in 2003). Together with Prof. Bounias a theory of real physical space was developed, which started from pure mathematical principles, namely, set theory, topology and fractal geometry. Another professional interest is applied physics. In 2006 he co-founded a company in Belgium devoted to the development of technologies proposed by Ukrainian scientists. The company was named Indra Scientific and it has been gradually developing embracing new areas of applications (the production of biodiesel, recycling of industrial waste, organic waste to energy by using a new design of a gasifier, cleaning of waste water, infrared heating thin films, measuring devices, ecological chemistry, etc.). He is an editor of several books and collections of works dealing with quantum physics and gravity. Dr. Krasnoholovets has published over 80 research papers.
