Samson Lulievich Shatashvili (Georgian: სამსონ შათაშვილი; Russian: Самсон Лулиевич Шаташвили, born February 1960[1]) is a theoretical and mathematical physicist who has been working at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, since 2002. He holds the Trinity College Dublin Chair of Natural Philosophy[2] and is the director of the Hamilton Mathematics Institute.[3] He is also affiliated with the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS), where he held the Louis Michel Chair from 2003 to 2013 and the Israel Gelfand Chair from 2014 to 2019.[4] Shatashvili was a visiting faculty member at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics (SCGP) from 2014 to 2024.[5] Prior to moving to Trinity College, he was a professor of physics at Yale University from 1994.[6]
Shatashvili received his PhD in 1984 at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Saint Petersburg under the supervision of Ludwig Faddeev (and Vladimir Korepin). The topic of his thesis was on gauge theories and had the title "Modern Problems in Gauge Theories".[7] In 1989 he received D.S. degree (doctor of science, 2nd degree in Russia) also at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Saint Petersburg.[citation needed]
