Quintessence

Lev Z Vilenchik has a Ph.D. (1975) and Doctor of Science (1985) Degrees in Physics and Mathematics, with major in theoretical physics specializ-ing in quantum field theory (student of Academician V.A. Fock). He has a substantial experience both in academia and industry. He was a Professor and Senior Principal Scientist focusing in the quantum field theory, nuclear physics, physics of macromole-cules, and chromatography and drug development at the Russian Academy of Science, Purdue University, MIT, and Merck among others. The description and explanation of the processes exemplified in the manuscript required thorough understand-ing and comprehension of classical physics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, rela-tivistic theory, cosmology, chemistry, biochemistry, macromolecular science, chromatography, and pharmacology. The author has extensive knowledge and expertise in all of the above areas, published a number of patents and over 100 papers in peer reviewed scientific international journals. The manuscripts Chromatography of Polymersand Modern Liquid Chromatography of Macromolecules were published by Chimiya in 1978 and Elsevier in 1983 correspondingly.
