About Emmanuil

Emmanuil Agrest has born in Moscow, Russia. In 1968, he graduated from Moscow State University in Mathematics and Mechanics. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics at the Soviet Academy of Science in 1975. Agrest started his carrier with 12 years of extensive research in mathematical and computer based modeling of underwater acoustics and cavitation. In 1980, he began his teaching career at the State University in Sukhumi, Georgia of the former Soviet Union where he was also the chair of the Algebra and Numerical Methods of Analysis department. He was also a member of the National Universities Committee in Applied Mathematics. In 1992, he and his family immigrated to the United States, settling in Charleston, SC. He began teaching first at the College of Charleston, then from 1993 with Johnson & Wales University as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Agrest has more than 30 publications in highly prestigious scientific journals. Many of his Russian publications have been translated into English and are available in the United States. He was promoted to the rank of Professor in 2000 at Charleston Campus.
Emmanuil’s father (1915 – 2015) was a preeminent mathematician also known as an author and a proponent of the ancient astronaut theory.
Emmanuil and his wife Larisa married in 1968. They raised two boys: Igor and Yan and now enjoy four grandchildren.
