Tina Kahniashvili

Between 1988 and 2007, Kahniashvili held numerous faculty positions across Georgia, the United States, and Europe. Her first role was as a researcher at Georgia's Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory, followed by several appointments as a staff scientist and professor.

Now, she holds positions as a research professor at Carnegie Mellon University, a professor of physics and astronomy at Ilia State University, and as the main scientist at Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory.^[2]

Kahniashvili is a member of the American Physical Society, the American Astronomical Society, and the International Astronomical Union in addition to her positions at various universities and observatories.^[2]

Her research career took her to Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland, where she researched alongside Axel Brandenburg and Ruth Durrer, before the bulk of her United States career began. She first worked in the U.S. in 2000 at Rutgers University, where she worked alongside Arthur Kosowsky researching the cosmic microwave background and gravitational waves from [[primordial turbulence and magnetic fields as a visiting scientist.^[3] She went on to research at Kansas State University from 2005, then at New York University from 2006 until 2008.

Her research interests are varied; they include topics from early gravitational waves and the large-scale structure of the universe to massive gravity.^[2] Kahniashvili's recent work includes investigations of the generation of gravitational waves from the early universe and their detection, magnetohydrodynamics and fluid turbulence, and massive gravity.^[4] She has written over 120 publications in her chosen fields.^[4]
