Dr. Valentina Markova is a mathematician, a specialist in algebraic encoding and decoding of the information. She has completed her PhD from the Science Institute at the Ministry of Military Defense and postdoctoral studies from Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Mathematics and Informatics . She work as leading specialist in Applied Mathematics At the present time she is developing a brand new theory as the Expanded Field Theory. Expanded Field Theory describes open vortices (transverse in 2D and longitudinal in 3D), which exist accelerating or decelerating .They demonstrate non-parametric processes and obeying a specific mathematical apparatus. On this new basis, Dr. Markova proposes and develops a method for generating so-called free energy , a technology for the synthesis of materials with superconductivity, describes structures of Gravitational attraction or repulsion from tubes( inserted into each other) from longitudinal accelerating or decelerating vortices, proposes an anti-gravity apparatus of a completely new principle, describes the generation of planets-sun system from Low Frequency transverse Gravity waves , explains the essence of Gravity attraction from High Frequency Gravitational pulses (particular for the planet Earth ) ,reveals the main cause of climate changes in connection with an increase in the radius of the hot core of the Earth, etc. Dr. Markova has written 2 monographs, over 60 papers in international conferences and journals and chapters in 2 online book.
