Welcome to George Chavchanidze's Homepage!

Location

As name suggests I'm from Georgia, it's quite common name there and it's often transliterated as Giorgi. Last several years I live in Norway though. I often travel to Georgia to visit relatives and friends and time to time travel to Ukraine where my wife's relatives live.

Work

I'm working on Vivaldi browser in Vivaldi Technologies AS. Before that I used to work in Opera Software ASA and Razmadze Mathematical Institute.

Education

I have Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics and used to study symmetries in integrable models, but at the moment I'm no longer involved in research and now work in IT sector.

Languages

I can communicate in Georgian, English, Ukrainian and Norwegian. I understand to some extent Swedish and written Danish. In 2007-2010 years I was involved in work on Scandinavian-Georgian, Scandinavian-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Georgian dictionaries.

Markup languages

In 2001-2006 years I was involved in XML MAIDEN project, that was intended to create markup language for mathematical formulae. It's XML application, so web browsers can parse it as XML and format with CSS. But it was not widely used and development was stopped in 2006. Afterwards I joined W3C Math Working group to define CSS profile of MathML (Mathematical Markup Language).

Keyboard layouts

I'm interested in keyboard layouts and in 2020 did evaluation and optimization of Georgian and Scandinavian keyboard layouts using carpalx.

Articles

Most of my articles were written in 2001-2006 years, I'm not involved in any research anymore.
