He obtained his BSc degree from the University of Toronto and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo in Canada. His research interests include mathematical problems from the area of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, differential geometry, a study of partial differential equations

as well as their overlap with other problems in physics. He has published more than 160 papers in journals and books and has given many talks at different levels over the years. This is the seventh volume he has worked on with IntechOpen publishers.

Dimo I. Uzunov was born in 1950, in Zlatograd, Bulgaria. He graduated from the Physics Faculty of St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia in 1974. He received his Ph.D. degree in Physics in 1981 and the Doctor of Physical Sciences degree in 1988. For many years he worked as a Research Fellow and Professor at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Sofia). His research is in the broad area of condensed matter theory, statistical physics, su-

perconductivity, magnetism, phase transitions, and critical phenomena. Professor Uzunov was a teacher and research adviser of a number of under- and post-graduate students, and young researchers. He has carried out a great number of remarkable international collaborations.
