Prof. Edward Bormashenko earned his M.Sc. in Physics at Kharkiv University and his Ph.D. in 1990 at the Polymer Science Moscow Institute of Plastics (USSR). Currently, he is working at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Ariel University. He is working mainly in the field of surface science, in particular in the fields of superhydrophobicity, superoleophobicity, creating of surfaces with pre-scribed properties, and plasma- and UV-treatment of surfaces. His laboratory also works in the field of plasma treatment of seeds. He also studies liquid marbles and their self-propulsion. He also studies the Moses effect (magnetically inspired deformation of liquid surfaces) and its applications. He is also interested in Ramsey theory, quantitative linguistics, topological problems of physics (exemplifications of the 'hairy ball theorem), advanced dimensional analysis (extensions of the Buckingham theorem), variational analysis of "free ends" physical problems, enabling application of the "transversality conditions".
