Author Information

"Wladimir-Georges Boskoff graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Bucharest in 1982 and completed his Ph.D. at the same university in 1994. Since 1990 he has been a member of the Department of Mathematics at the Ovidius university, teaching courses on various subjects, including Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, differential geometry, calculus on manifolds, mechanics and relativity, astronomy, and other subjects. His scientific papers and books relate to the foundations of geometry, Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry, metric geometry, differential geometry, modified theories of gravity, general relativity, and the history of mathematics. He has been an invited speaker at conferences in France, Japan, the USA, Greece, Italy, and Chile. He is a recipient of the Academy of Sciences of Romania's G. Tzitzeica Prize for contributions to geometry (1996), and the Romanian Mathematical Society Medal for contributions at mathematical education (2010).   Salvatore Capozziello is  Full Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Department of Physics at the Università di Napoli ""Federico II"" where he teaches General Relativity and Cosmology. He is visiting Professor at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (L'Aquila, Italy),  Honorary Professor at the Tomsk State Pedagogical University (Tomsk, Russia), Member of the Lepage Research Institute (Presov, Slovakia) and Foreign Member of the Serbian Academy of Non-linear Sciences (Belgrade, Serbia). He is the Coordinator of the PhD in Cosmology, Space Science & Space Technology (SPACE) at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli. He is the Managing Editor of the International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics (World Scientific).

From 2012 to 2018, he was President of the Italian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (SIGRAV). He spent periods of his scientific career in  Germany, Poland, UK, Mexico,  USA, South Africa, Canada, France, and Japan. His research focuses on general relativity, cosmology, relativistic astrophysics, and physics of gravitation in their theoretical and phenomenological aspects, in particular extended theories of gravity and their cosmological and astrophysical applications.   His main scientific achievements have been the introduction of the concept of the curvature quintessence to explain the cosmological dark energy and the use of Noether symmetries as selection rules for observable universes. In November 2023, he received the Yang-Hui Award by the ICMAACS, University of Shanghai, China.   He is the author of more than  650 refereed papers and 9 books.
